Day 19

Said goodbye to Yocchan who flew back to Kochi, and then headed into Sapporo. Despite spending most of the afternoon walking across town on fruitless errands, a day in the big city (the 6th biggest in a nation of big cities) was a buzz. Under the spell of neon, youth and constant motion, my love of the metropolis was rekindled. To get the most out of our short visit and to avoid paying for accomodation, we walked the streets, listened to buskers and hung out in a couple of cool little bars all night, before jumping on the 6am train back out east to Kushiro and our bikes.
