Day 38 – Same hotel…

I had a lovely breakfast with very good coffee.  I left my bag and headed out to Temple 44 and then Temple 45.  Temple 44 was just 2 kms away.  Pretty nice temple and I was on my way.  The last 7 kms to Temple 45 were gorgeous. It was a beautiful but tough hike. Temple 45 is amazing. I need to do more research on that temple. The Daishido was much bigger than the main temple. Also, there was a good 50 bus ohenro saying prayers. I leave and receive a soda as ossetai from the bus driver. After that, I decided to complete the loop back to the hotel. On the way, I run into my favorite Japanese couple. I don’t think the wife was happy that I was walking the opposite direction. Incredibly dear people. I hope I run into them tomorrow. I finally make it to the hotel and ask to stay another night. Good night all.
