Day 9: First Rain

Today was just a very long day of walking in the rain. 

We have a few days now with no temples. We walked most of the way with Amandine from France. It was nice to hear her stories of trekking in Europe.

My blister was better with moleskin around it, but I have a shin splint on my right leg. Hopefully it will not get too bad. We stayed at a nice resort hotel with a huge onsen. Just what we needed after a long day.

We walked 30.3km today. You can see a map of my tracks here (you may have to refresh the page after a minute to get it to show).  If you have Google Earth, it is faster to download a Google Earth file of my adventure from here.
