Shikoku Henro 2013, Day 2

Nov

Day 2:

We got up early & set off (set off = begin a journey). It was quite cool, so I wore gloves & a jacket, but before long (= soon) I warmed up & took them off. The weather was great again today.

The first temple we visited was a little in the coutryside, so we could enjoy some beautiful scenery & I took some nice photos.

In total we rode 77km today. We also climbed a lot of stairs, especially at #71, Iyadanji Temple. I was pretty tired when we reached #80, Sanuki Kokubun Temple just before 5pm. We checked into a nearby B&B (= Bed & Breakfast = minshuku) & met an 84-year-old man who is doing henro on foot - great!

I enjoyed myself today.

We call B&B "Henro-yado."
I've not stayed it yet.
Was it modern?

The  84-year-old man  is great!
I wanted to see him in Yashima.

1 night we stayed in a business hotel, 2 nights we stayed in minshuku/henro-yado. I took these pictures of my 2 minshuku rooms. They are traditional Japanese style - not modern, but comfortable, with new TVs, so I could watch the Rakuten v Giants baseball games! In my experience, minshuku owners are always very kind & friendly, so I enjoy staying at them.
