Miles day 14: 5.8
Miles day 15: <1
We found a sweet two-room guesthouse on Oki Beach to spend a little rest time. We both were suffering from travel fatigue and this was the perfect way to sleep off the tiredness. The place was $25.00 a night each and had a small kitchen. Our host drove us to the grocery store and we got two day's provisions and hunkered down. The guesthouse was right next to a surfer beach and also next to a four-story tsunami escape tower. We read, used the rare wifi service, and microwaved our grocery store meals.
Surfers in wetsuits were there on both the sunny and rainy day. The surfing beach was untouched by developers, with the exception of a hotel high on a bluff. The only land use near the beach is farming...broccoli. No doubt the danger of tsunamis hinders development, although I wonder if that would stop us in the USA. Our east coast beaches are prone to hurricanes, yet they are developed right up to the shoreline. Bottom line, it's so much more pleasant to experience an undeveloped coastline; I wish we had this intelligence in the states.
