I woke up throughout the sunrise on my beach campsite this morning, as I'd left the outer cover off my tent so I could watch the view from my bed. My first cycle was along a long string of beautiful cycle paths along the water, sticking off the main road. I hit a groove and just kept going for ages. At one point I stopped at a Michi no Eki and got some sushi. A falcon tried to swoop the food from my and grazed my hand but luckily I held on tight and it failed at taking my lunch. Take that! Whilst eating my food an older gentleman started chatting to me but I didn't understand 99% of what he was talking about. Despite this he kept talking at me for about 20 minutes, thanks for the attempt at connection sir but I'm afraid we got nowhere! After that I just kept going, at some point I stopped and realised that my GPS tracking was paused hence the huge random line, which is a shame because I would've liked to see all those little backstreets I took. I went to gusto (aha! not joyfull this time) around 3pm and cracked into some editing after a nice call with Steph. The editing once again went very well, I feel like I'm making good progress! Tonight I'm sleeping at a park next to a cycle path just outside the main area of the town I'm in. It's pretty public but far from the sketchiest park I've camped at.
