The Plan
Take my bike up to the northern tip of Japan this August and pedal south and west 'till there's no more Japan left. Counting on about 2 or 3 months.

Day 36
Kita-akita -> Oga Peninsula
Distance:78km
Flew down the Komeshiro Valley and to the calm and sparkling Sea of Japan (or the Eastern Sea as the Koreans would have us call it), which will be our companion now for a few weeks. Then onto the beautiful Oga Peninsula this afternoon, past small golden rice fields, curving gracefully with the steep contours of the mountains, and around the jagged coastline to the small sleepy fishing hamlet of of Kamoaosa. Here we found lodgings with a wonderful couple from California - former actor, jeweller and vinyard-owner Scott and his wife a former linguist and boutique owner Masako, who we met through couchsurfing.com. Great hospitality, amazing food and many laughs. It will be hard to leave tomorrow, especially with rain fronts looming on the horizon.

Got your pictures by email. Is Andrew really that much taller then you or was he standing on his tip toes. You two tower over everybody else. Would it be possible to show some of the pictures on this blog? Liked the big hamburger one but it didn't look like beef meat. Also, wash your hair sometime :)
