Hiroko and I headed out of Tokyo a little too late to make it back at a reasonable time so after we went up to Hossawa Falls and found the cache near the frozen waterfall we walked down the mountain and got the second cache near the village map of Hinohara. Good finds!
After that we did a bit of walking and I stuck out my thumb. A pastor passed us by, noticed the thumb, made a U-turn and came and picked us up. She took us all over the place to find a place to stay.
Finall we got a place but it was too late for dinner so we bought some stuff and a bottle of wine and enjoyed it in the room together. It was pretty darn cold in the room so luckily we could warm ourselves up in the bath next door.
We fell asleep quickly and suffered from cold drafts all night.
This morning we had a quick bath to take off the night chill, gathered for a new year breakfast, paid our bill and started walking.
We walked for a couple of hours and eventually found the third cache at Daihigan Temple. It's a temple first built in 1163 or so but no records remain to prove who the original builder was. Nice place, great cache.
We brewed ourselves some coffee, ate some cheese and a hard boiled egg and walked the half hour back to the station.
Now we are headed back to Tokyo to meet Hiroko's mom. I kept bugging her to introduce me so this is a good chance. Near her Kim's place are a few caches so maybe tomorrow we will go and look for them if the weather is fine.
It's a good holiday and the new year weather is always good in Tokyo (one of the reasons why Mayu always hated being in Fukui during the new year because it is cold, rainy, snowy and generally miserable).
I love you!
