Diary	The tour in Golden Week 2006 began. I got up at AM 7:00 and it took time to maintain my Mercedes V. I got on a "Nozomi" Super Express at PM 12:32. This time, I will head for east. I know the weather will be fine in the route, but I am not sure where I will be reach, because the routes are very mountainous. At Kyoto Sta. a couple from Holland talked to me, they were very interested in bike bag. I introduced the URL of e-WADACHI.com. I hope they will visit my site.
