Diary
 0503_15.jpgI could not wind back the film in my camera. I found the camera was broken. I bought used camera at "Camera no Kitamura" in Matsue.
At 10:40 I got on the Ichihata Dentetsu. It was late than my schedule.
I slowly headed for west. There were a few ups and downs along Route 9. The road was very good, but tunnels were narrow!
(;_;)
Today was night riding, too. The fixed schedule touring is hard for me.
Torrow after by train, I have to ride over 90km. I wonder if I could reach Matsuyama.
