Day 05 - Ise-kashiwazaka to Furusato. 26km according to my watch. Finally after 4 days of rain, the sun finally decided to come out of hiding. I decided to "celebrate" by walking the Tsuzurato-toge pass. This was the longer "original" trail...
Day 04 - Misedani to Ise-kashiwazaka. 20.77km according to my watch. Another rainy day made the wall down Misesaka-toge pass rather tricky. It was streams and streams of water flowing non-stop.
Probably 15% - 20% was on dirt trails (up and down...
Day 3 - Tochihara to Misedani. A rather relaxed 16km today. A very light drizzle which lasted the entire day. There's a section of the trail which included using a "service tunnel" to cross under the train tracks. The map alao mentioned to stick...
Walked from Tamaru to Tochihara in the rain today. Quite fairly well signposted and today had the first pass of the trail - Meki-toge pass. Very tame in comparison to what's to come in the next few days. Temperature is around 10 degrees. There's...

I talked to the folks in Ruesta today, breakfast is no earlier than 09:00 so you may want to consider that. We booked dinner and will carry enough for lunch in and out of Ruesta. Good luck.
When I was 27/28 I asked God to send me a man: named Ken (to my Barbara/Barbie), 6’2”, 190lbs, single, well-educated, never-married, no children.
When I was 40 on my second camino I met him in Roncesvalles at the pilgrim’s dinner. He lived on...
