Welcome

For those reading who don't know me, or have forgotten my name, I am Neil Gordon and I intend to keep this blog up to date with my travel activities in Japan - taking place from mid July 2010 till some time in January 2011.
I'm English and am interested in the Japanese culture and language, as well as computers and technology.
The blog name neiltanken is simply my name + 探検 (tanken) - which means expedition.

Henro Day 30

My torch came in handy this morning (started at 4:30ish). I also still didn’t catch a cold!

I met MD-san, a guy from Ehime prefecture doing the pilgrimage a bit past five (or rather, I upset him sleeping in a rest hut)

I went ahead of him at that point, but I encountered him again later and we ended up walking together.

This photo was taken at 6:00, it wasn’t possible to take pictured before then because it was too dark.

We ate lunch in a small shrine building. MD-san boiled spaghetti so I used the water afterwards to make a cup noodle.

A pleasant mountain path which was surprisingly not rough,

I reached Kumakougen Town and stayed at “Omogu ryokan”. The bath facilities were about as big as a small public bath.
