Keith Adams commented on a photo in Hanging out in Kobe

It's an amazingly open, warm-looking space. Unusual in maritime architecture, which seems generally (apart from giant cruise liners) to focus heavily on the functional with little consideration to aesthetics or "human factors".

So glad you had such a fantastic opportunity to recover from a really hard experience.

One of those phenomena that seems unique to the cycle touring experience.

The rest of the world could take a lesson from Japanese courtesy and manners, I'm thinking.

I've been skipping around your journal so may have missed the back story on your trikes names, but our Vision recumbent tandem shares the name "Elsie" as in Elsie the Cow (Borden's spokes-cow) . In our case it means "Lawn Chairs On Wheels".

Yes the Ryokan was peaceful, tucked away in Ebino.
So nice meeting you. Right now drinking beer in a Ryokan in the forest on Yakushima Island. Josée and Marc 🌺🌼🌾

I'm glad you arrived safely at Ebino City (*^^*) Did you go to Kobayashi City next? In Kobayashi, you can see the Kirishima Mountains called Ikoma Kogen, tourist attractions called Nojirikopia, and tourist attractions with a very large pond called Miike. If you have a chance, please go and see it. The weather is going to get worse the day after tomorrow, so please be careful during your trip. I sent you an email on the 9th. Did it arrive safely? I'm typing using a translation app, so I'm sorry if it's a misunderstood sentence.

Rachael is a subscriber, so she’s probably not much help. The method we use though is that there’s a ‘Share’ link that you can follow through to the option to copy the URL.

Indeed. A touch of the comforts of home but even better…cause we are travelling. We keep saying it, but we love Japan.
A question for Rachel if possible. Barry is having trouble loading videos from Vimeo. He can’t get the embed code. The message is that he must subscribe to go further. We recall Rachel posted something on Cycle Blaze. Would appreciate any tips. Thanks
