3day

Today is our day 3 of biking and day 5 of our bike tour to Japan. We had a very ambitious aim of travelling 90 km so we set our journey early in the morning at 7:30 a.m. after having some yoghurt and fruits.We travelled along the clean green country side and reached the lunch hub after covering around 40 km. We travelled all the way through the saga city,a nice city i must say. The traffic was really huge here. We sat on the park and had a really nice lunch, bonito (rice balls with sea weeds or fish in the center), pears and some drinks. After a brief siesta for 1 hour we headed for Ikoino-mori,a 40km distance from here. On the way we had a heavy downpour but the bikers didn't stop, they rather continued with the greater speed. All the navigators (Alex, Misha, Andre, Yu Ku) were very good at finding the paths. Thanks to their geographical knowledge. Though it was a big distance today but we didn't felt like that because it was a plain road today and our muscle are already at the level of resistance since it the Day 3 we have been biking.As we travel more and more the view becomes more and more mesmerizing. Today we areP residing in a camping site in Ikoino-mori and we are sleeping in the tent,seems like a complete wilderness. The food today ( punpkin and Potato curry ) made by Michelle, Katja, Stephi and the group reminded me of my Nepali food and it was great to have a Nepali spicy food after such a long time. Thanks to the them. Tomorrow we are heading to Fukuoka,a big city and we are having a symposium there with the public.We are really excited to go there and i am very much looking forward to it.This will be our biggest symposium during the whole bike tour so please keep your fingers crossed to know about this event. I am very much delighted to my Japanese friends (Ryoma, Karin, and the others) who always think of our safety and have been busy day and night thinking of us. See you Cheers from Ikoino-mori Mohan
