Autumn Adventure: Day 2
I got up early, packed up my tent, and rode north, mostly using the footpath. Along the way, I saw a cage & thought, "What`s in there? An animal?" Yes - a wild boar (イノシシ). Wow.

I rode for several hours but then I got a flat tyre (= puncture = パンク). Oh no. I couldn`t fix it, so I caught a train from a nearby town called Hase, to Kumihama, where a kind bike-shop owner picked me up at the station, took me to his shop, & fixed my tyre. What a nice fellow. Thank you very much!

After that I found a nice camping spot next to a river, made a small fire, had dinner, and slept very well.

British versus American English:
- footpath (UK, Aus) = sidewalk, pavement (US)
- wild boar, wild pig, feral pig (UK, Aus, US), wild/feral hog (US)
- tyre (UK, Aus) = tire (US)
