To Kushiro, Our Final Stop on
Hokkaido
  Today was a
journey of about 140 miles – however, we had to make a short train
journey, a bus to fill in where the landslide had happened and a train to
finish. Looks like we follow the road then. We left our digs at 11:15 and landed
at 16:00.
  The scenery began with natural beauty.
   We transferred to a very swish bus, good roads to first stop.
 “I’m on a bridge
to nowhere, come on inside.....”
 A couple of years ago a landslide
caused havoc and the repairs are still
underway.
  A bit of countryside before a once carefully owned, sad station.
 Wow to the colours
of autumn.
  Pines along the
way.
  Wind displacement
fences and snow holders – so alien to
us.
  We left our
bus in Shintoku.
 A good lookin’
gal looks after the town.
  We waited quietly at Shintoku Station.
  Definitely got the hang of the vending machines.
  Not sure in spaghetti, but, thoughtfully things appear in English.
  Enjoying Beez coloured hoppers as a funny looking gal comes to take us on our
journey.
   We alternate between coast and main
road – a very grey looking business.
  A church called
Grace and a bonny welcome.
 Bear likes this
picture as he thinks it makes our cases look
small.
  We follow technology to our new digs.
  As we walked into our
room the television sprang to life, I left Bear trying for English, then
giving up and trying for the internet code. While he was attempting to saddle
the beast, I went to check out the en suite.
Like our last digs it is a big step up into what
felt like the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Snug came to mind with the tap in the sink doubling up as the bath filler – yet
another first for me. Yes, I called, the toilet is a
gadget one, I’ll set the seat to hot, this has become a new pink job on my
list.......Later, I found the bath to be incredibly deep, nearly to my shoulders
but knees up under my chin. Getting out was a real laugh.
ALL IN ALL MOUNTAINS TO A GREY
TOWN
ANOTHER FUN-PACKED
