Shikoku & Tokaido Bike Trip -- Day 2

This day's destination was a camping bungalow facility locating at Shimanto river (四万十川). I had to reach there before 17:30. At a MacDonald's in Matsuyama city, I got a flat tire for the first time this trip. Parking a bike at sunny place was likely a cause. After repairing it at a nearby bike shop, I had to go quickly to reach there. There were a number of nice scenery but I had no time to took pictures. This day I passed the highest mountain pass (390m) in Shikoku area and the second highest including whole itinerary next to Hakone in this trip, which was 390m high. The destination was near the border from Ehime prefecture to Kochi prefecture. It was countryside and relaxing place. Every students greeted hello to me. I took a bath at a nearby hot spring, where I made the first cloth washing; I had to wash every another day because I brought only two-day cloths to reduce my baggage. I had two glasses of beer at a local Chinese restaurant, which were enough to make me feel comfortable staying at a bungalow.
