A quick photo outside our Minshuku
Then off to find a cute lil spoon for Audrey from this sweet lady, who served us Cherry Flower tea
AND hats for us!
Nearly pee'd my pants when I saw this tag still on Maki's hat outside!
HAD to find "the Bridge" in Narai
Also found a hashi (chopstick) maker
A quick delicious coffee - siphon method
BUT WHAT IN THE WORLD?
The start of our big hike today
Ring bells to scare bears - it really works! We never saw one bear
This hike was more than we anticipated - straight up for miles and miles (and of course the picture I use does not show it!)
This is the valley below where we started - FAR down
Water everywhere for weary travelers
Tea House where you can rest
Coffee Rio - Abes gave Maki some for the road
Gohei Mochi
Beauty
After amazing morning in Narai, train to Yabuhara, hike the Torii Pass back to Narai, then train to Kiso Fukushima, we are BURNT.
Our hotel - Mikawaya
On the river...............lovely
At dinner we realize how out of shape we are. Praying for tomorrow which is a very long hike.
