Shikoku & Tokaido Bike Trip -- Day 6

Woke up at six thirty, I found my isotonic drink taste strange. As I opened the bike bottle, I found it was green by mold. It was because I forgot to wash the previous night. Capsule hotel is so dangerous that you cannot be away from your belongings. Because of this mistake, I had to drink isotonic drink without putting it into the bottle until the end of this trip.

After sightseeing Akou City, I basically went along with Route 2. It has, as well as other trunk routes, a lot of by pass. They allow only cars and prohibits bikes from entering, which forcing me to feel that I came back to the busy mainland. I like countryside, like Shikoku, which has little budget and no necessity to build bypasses.

On the day, I stayed at a guesthouse expecting to see foreign travelers. Unfortunately I was the only one customer because collage autumn holiday was over. The staff said the previous day had a lot of guests. We talked how interesting to communicate with foreign people on that night.
