4:30 pm — TSH, day 33

Just as planned, I woke up early enough to see a beautiful sunrise. There was a rain around midnight but nothing serious and in the morning the tent was as wet as if it were just dew.

I quickly packed, ate some light snacks and started to hike even before 6am.

By carefully watching the live weather forecast and the sky above my head, I avoided a rain-shower and several regular rains. It felt like in an old console game: I was walking looking for “save points” where I could retreat to if the rain would suddenly start to pour. Thus by moving from one checkpoint to another I reached a convenience store and while I was eating my breakfast there the last rain for the morning passed by.

I’ve lost quite a lot of time by waiting for rains to pass, so yet the rest of the day went fine. I successfully reached Sekigahara town which you can see on the photo and then I managed to reach a camping just 15 minutes before reception closing time.

5:30 pm — Spam

I’ve got some spam. It was absolutely unexpected and I was both surprised and happy. Unfortunately, I cannot eat this spam-as-a-service, yet it was very nice of the camping staff.

/for those who miss the point just read where the term came from/

7:30 pm — Wrapping the day

It is my most expensive camping so far. The night here cost the same as a night in a normal hostel. On the other hand, it is near the trail, it is neat and clean, it has beautiful surroundings, it has a hot shower (for additional price), it has available power outlets and, last but not least, in fact, one can say that I rented the whole camping since I’m the only person here. Even the staff left in the evening.

So far I took a hot shower and now am enjoying my meal in the tent while looking at the pond in the sunset rays.
