冷えた朝です〜

It was a cold morning.

初日は大阪府〜奈良県〜三重県〜フェリーで知多半島愛知〜静岡県浜松まで下道でした、思った以上に進めず…..

23年携帯を使っていなかったのですが

携帯をはじめて妻に借りナビにして

すぐに電池がおわりました

道中ガソリンのまわりが悪く

見ると細いホースからガソリンがジャーっとこぼれてる

このバイクのタンクの裏がサビまくってるのです。

家でガソリン抜いたときも底にガサガサしたサビが

積もってました。

スタンドで気付けたので場所を借り応急処置をさせて頂きました。

しかし、

そこのスタンドお姉さんから、おばちゃんから、おっちゃんまでみんなほんまにやさしさがにじみ出てる、後から来たにいちゃんも!

休憩をすすめてくださりコーヒーも

ほんとにパワフルでええおばちゃんやった

バイクの調子がわるなってきた旅の幸先

人の出会いは幸先抜群、とにかく楽しんでいっときましょう

On the first day, I travelled from Osaka through Nara, Mie, Aichi to Hamamatsu, Shizuoka. I could make little headway since I only took general road, including a ferry between Mie and Chita peninsula, Aichi. 

As I have not possessed a mobile phone for 23 years, I used my wife’s phone for the first time to use it as a navigation system, and it ran out of power so quickly. 

On the way,  the fuel of the motorbike was not circulating well. As I stopped to check it, I found out the gasoline was draining out from a thin tube. 
I knew that the inside of the fuel tank got rusted badly and I saw a pile of rust in the bottom of the tank when I drained it back at home.
As I found out the leak at a gas station, I asked the staff there to use some space to do some temporary treatment. 

Aside from the trouble, all the people working at the gas station – two ladies and two gentlemen – were truly warm-hearted.
One of the ladies invited me for a coffee to take a rest.  She was really nice and energetic.

Even though I had a trouble with my bike, it was an auspicious happening to meet good people at the very beginning of my journey. Let’s just enjoy the whole thing!

鳥羽から知多半島伊良湖岬にフェリーで渡りました。

信号待ちや給油でガソリンが漏れて脇に止めてと道を聞きながら進んで浜松!

フィルターつけました。がすでに20時

今日はもうお開き

思ってたよりはるかに寒い

持ってきた全ての防寒着着込んで

それでもちょっとちびりました。

I took a ferry from Toba, Mie, to Cape Irago, on Chita peninsula. 
On the way to Hamamatsu, I stopped at the traffic lights, to fill the gas, to manage the gas leak, and to ask people for directions. 
It was already 20:00 when I finished installing a filter for the gasoline trouble.
Time up.
It was far colder than I expected. 
Despite I wore all the warm clothes I had, I wet my pants a little.
