Charmaine Ruppolt commented on a photo in Farewell Osaka…on to Shikoku

That nice (and unusual!) to be able to bring your bike in your cabin on the ferry!

Funny with the dog in the baby carriage. :) I have a pet stroller that I can bring my cat around for a walk in. :)

Nice that they provide the chain to lock your bike -

No underground cabling there! I would think that's not a good thing in storms or earthquakes?

Nice to have a friendly, safe and covered pedestrian way!

I wonder what the little black and blue zippered bag is on top of the turtle?

Interesting. All the turtles I have seen, including in captivity, I have never seen one on its own skateboard!!

Those are red-eared sliders, and are invasive from North America.

If you haven't already found it, the website of Shimanami Guesthouse Cyclonoie in Imabari is a treasure trove of info for the Shimanami Kaido and Tobishima Kaido cycle routes. It's also a nice place to stay, with indoor parking for the trikes, and a discount coupon for the onsen.
Be sure to stop at the "cyclist sanctuary" at the michi no eki located mid way between Imabari and Onomichi. The lemon soft creme there was the best of my trip.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for the heads up about Goto Island. We are really looking forward to explore the islands off Kyushu. Glad to hear about your experience in Japan. One week to go before we fly!
