The rain which started at 12.30 pm spoiled my ride and 30 km more fell short of my targeted campsite. The sky was already showing sign of rain with heavy cloud, and it only held up for my morning ride on route 335 along the coast, in Shibetsu,a right turn away from the coast on route 272 ,I got my supply in Selcomart but did not get enough water,i should have done that in view of the possibility of rain might fall anytime, another mistake learnt. I waited at the roadside rain shelter for an hour but the rain don't seem to stop, it really killed my mood of continue riding,whats more with my body already cooling down,although the time is still early at 1.30 pm. So decision made and i started to unload my panniers to set up my tent in the cabin like road shelter with aluminium sliding glass door and window panels,good that i am protected from the chilling wind at night.
