Day 14 – Surf Hotel

My feet were not happy this morning. I slept well and the lady at the hotel was awesome. Very nice. I had breakfast and a free drink at Lawsons. The lady at the front spoke some English and let me in on the contest at the store. I decided to take it easy and shoot for 20 to 25 kms today. It was an unending trek down route 55. Luckily, the views were pretty awesome. I stopped in Kaiyo Town for ramen, very good. I was originally shooting for Henro Hut 6 but saw this surf hotel for $28! I read about it in one of the blogs too. Very chill and right next to 7/11. I booked a room and head for the onsen. Excellent relaxation and funny too. Onsens are a big part of Japanese culture. So I am sitting in my hot tub and in come three kids under 9 years old. 2 girls and a boy. They are hanging with grandpa at the bath. Every guy in the place just laughs. I wonder what age they cut the girls off from the male side of the bath. Oh, in the dressing room there was a crib. Very family oriented. After the onsen, I got a beer and chips from 7/11 and enjoyed the sunset. Now I am finishing up my posts and video. Tomorrow will be a long walk. Good night all.
