This morning everything was in a mess as our campsite was flooded due to continuous rain and the river overflowed its bank and attacked our camp,we quickly pack up but still most of our stuffs were all wet.Shercco was forced to ride with one and a half feet of water level to get on to the road. We re-organise ourself at the convenient store and only started to ride off at 9 when the rain looks ok. Our target is to get to Onimichi which is about 50 km, but first we had to get pass Fukuyama,30km away.It seems no other way except route 2 that we had to follow on the bicycle lane.We stop at a children playground where there is an old train head for us to dry our stuffs.We had our lunch at a fast food restaurant by the road side.Ramen again for me 550yen,while Sherco have 2 bowl of rice 400yen and slice pork 700yen.Sherco complaining very expensive, as compared to Malaysia one bowl of rice only rm 1.So think twice if you want to come to japan.Today;s ride is quite similar than yesterday except the rain, yesterday was ok. At 3.30pm ,we were started to look for place to stay with another 5 km before reaching Onomichi town. We saw one temple or shrine and i went to check it out, so happy that the man that i approached allows us to stay on the wooden hut,but cannot setup the tents,cooking is strictly outside the hut.Arigato gozaimas,what we need is a place to sleep and bathe to change from wet clothing to dry and a good rest.
