At last I was in the hot pool filled with water from the natural hot spring ... enjoying a traditional onsen by myself. What a good experience indeed. |
Sayorana we have to leave Kinosaki Tenboen. I shall remember this place as long as I am around. |
Our ride to the station was smooth and the weather in the morning was superb. |
Loro sells Brompton bicycles and some interesting accessories but unfortunately I could buy any due to our limitation of our luggage (We were travelling light hence no shopping). |
From Loro World Recumbents to Ryokan Yamazaki is about another 8km. The condition remained wet and cold but the ride continued. |
On the way to the hotel we found a nice and warm place for a lunch. |
My ramen again and they are always yummy. |
Fried dumplings called as "gyoza" that are served as a side dish with ramen. These dumplings are stuffed with a filing made out of vegetables and meat. |
Another side dish on our table it was a plate of stir fried bean sprouts. |
This was the toughest climb going over a train crossing in the drizzle with our bags and bicycles but we make it though it was painful . |
The 8km ride seems long and tedious but we just have to move on to our destination. |
The hotel we booked is located at the outskirt of Kyoto with narrow and winding roads and it was a bit stressful for Jo like going for a never reaching destination. |
All drenched as we check into the hotel, Ryokan Yamazaki seems to be a family run operation. The chef who speaks a bit of English attended to us and lead us to our room. |
A beautiful garden viewed from the dining area. |
What a day of bike packing and the adventure of getting to Ryokan Yamazaki, we just could resist ourselves for a nice sake and dinner before we rest our bodies. Good night.
