Filed under: Wakayama — admin @ 8:22 PM

Day 1 – March 20th

It was still cold so had to start a bit late compared to my usual time. Started at about 3:30 AM in the morning.

Start of the day coffee at Ebina. The FZ is black to blue now

The Ikeahawa sports ground also has a onesn and restaraunt. Nothing better then an open air onsen at the end of the day followed by a relaxed dinner. The night itself was not that pleasent. I managed to fix me tent fimrly before it started raining. It rained heavily during the night and it was very windy. I was worried my tent will be blown away and couldnt sleep well but fortunately the tent stayed intact.

Day 2 – March 21st

Fortunately the rain stopped by AM. Early morning view around and from the dam

Next we continued a bit on the Nachi skyline which is not a toll road anymore. Its one way and not mantained at all so we quite from the first view point on the skyline.

Started towards Cape XXX following mapple maps around 12;00 noon and staooped very little. While the scenary was beautiful, the roads were empty and pure pleasure to ride. The new BT016’s got broken in pretty well. Some shots from rest of the day

Heading back towards Ise Wangan – the Dam

IMG_8111_800x600

Interesting waterfall. Water drops and just disappears under the soil bed

and appears as underground stream on the other side of the bridge

IMG_8130_800x600

Some more shots in the way

Got on to Ise Waangan soon after the last shot and headed back home. Pretty painful ride as we have to lane split all the way from Gotemba to Tokyo.
