A beautiful start to our trip!

We finally made it to Kitakyushu in one piece after about 10 hours on the road and were greeted by the sight of a beautiful rainbow. Shortly after we hit the main town, it started pouring. We took cover in Macdonalds for about 2 hours when we finally decided to brave the rain and complete the last 15 kms to the hotel.... when... it started to hail! After more taking shelter, we got to our hotel at 12am.

Temperature was cooool. We started at 12 degrees c but one stage it dropped to 8. It was hard when we stopped scooting, for example to take a drink. Had to keep going.

Calories burnt: ~6000 kcal

We subsisted on convenience food the whole day and didnt manage to have time for a full meal. Whatevs we have enough fats on us to last 😂

By the time we went to bed it was 2am. So tmr will be a shorter day. Calves aching, feeling exhausted but otherwise doing okay!
