Day 14 – Not much done
Reckon I stayed inside most of the day. It was storming pretty hard and I wasn’t in the best headspace. Went out in the afternoon and did more shopping. At Rose’s suggestion, went out to find an Up Garage. True to reputation, they have tonnes of secondhand parts, this much be a dream for motorheads.…

Day 13 – What did I do today?
I’m not sure I did anything useful all day, probably sleep. Went and bought merch for myself and others, as I hadn’t done that much shopping yet. Trawled Akiba, went to White Canvas, Mandarake, the Kneehigh socks store, then went over to Bodyline in Harajuku because I want a really floofy good quality pannier. Went…

Day 9 – Connecting journey
I got moving and wheeled myself to the konbini nearby. Yes, breakfast time. Took the Sanyou shinkansen to Okayama, heading west to my last major station before I head towards Matsue. Had curry at a place called Quiet Village, at Shini’s recommendation. They have trams, it’s cool! Bought kibidango in Okayama at his recommendation too. Wherever…

Day 8 – Exploring Uchiura
Taxi to Uchiura because it’s just more expedient – I have to lug my suitcase which sucks. Got the Rubesty taxi! Got the ferry to the island, had to negotiate leaving my suitcase at the tourism office because it was too big for the lockers. Saw the dolphin show Walked around the island, weird tunnel…
