Today was a day full of unhappy events.First i found out that my reading glasses frame was broken,then i lost the spare one as well, without glasses,its hard to read map and updating my blog.Second, the lunch was screw-up,I did not even finish a quarter of it We arrived in Tokushima at 1.30pm but the ferry only leave at 4.30pm and took 2 hours and 10 minutes to arrive in Wakayama late at almost 7pm. We saw a park but sherco prefer to find hostel at this late hour. We spent 2 hours searching without success and ended up at the same park to camp at 9.30pm with a sudden downpour.Luckily the rain did not last long,then we set our tents on the grass as there is no roof around the park.
