Day 090! To Niigata

Really not much to say about this ride.

The roads and suburbs were honestly very run down, a bit industrial and boring. At one point a group of girls on bicycles cycled next to me to call me handsome as I cycled past them which was funny. I then dropped and earphone and had to stop which meant they passed me again which was awkward lol.

At Niigata I got a coffee and it was awesome (although a little expensive). The guy's boss learnt how to make coffee in Melbourne. This barista I was talking to could also speak Korean.

I spent the night in a hostel which was pretty nice, the beds also functioned as bookshelves (not that I read any of the books).
