Diary
0503_15.jpgI woke up around AM 10:00. It was no use crying over spilt milk. I left Oodate at 11:00. Prefectural Road 2 is very comfortable, but in a head wind I climbed up slowly like inch worm.
I heard the hight of the pass was 631m over the sea, but it was 840m. It was tired me. I reachd Lake Towada barely.
