After having the luxury of 5 days non riding rest in student hostel of Muroran Institute of Technology, its time for me to move on. When i finished packing at 8 am,Zhen Sheng is still sleeping,probably he slept late after a Saturday Halloween night gathering with friends. Sorry to him i had to wake him up to say goodbye,as i felt it will not be polite to leave just like that. He help me to carry some of stuffs and i extended my thankfulness to him for the warm hospitality. Feeling good to be on the road again, following route 37 along the coast until Date town,then a right turn on route 354 heading to Toya Lake, that will be my target destination today. At the junction of Sobetsu, another left turn to go into the inner ring road of 132 where now you are riding around the Toya lake. Today i am facing a strong 10 o'clock head wind and this somewhat reduces my average speed, but the slow pace also gave me the opportunity to admire the beautiful lakeside scenery with autumn leafs along the quiet road with very thin traffic. My campsite is located beside the Toya Lake and just wonderful to view the sunset.
Good Sunny morning to start the ride again in Muroran
