今日も山登りました、最近毎日は大変でした！
でも85kmぐらいママチャリを乗りました、延岡市から～豊後竹田町まで！
夜は素晴らしい居酒屋に色々特別な料理食べた、お酒飲んだ、と最後僕とジェイムズは居酒屋の中で寝ました‼
すごい‼ 本当にありがとう安田様達、喜久は全然忘れない‼
Yesterday was great at first, but then we hit a monster mountain. It was a real killer. Right at the start of it we met a fella from Nagasaki, who was also cycling around Kyushu!!! He was using a proper bike and, unlike us, did look like a proper cyclist. Hopefully we will meet Puji again if he pops in to Saga on his way home!
Well, after the horror, the horror, of the mountain we found ourselves in a quiet little town called Mie. We had already planned to meet a restaurant owner there for dinner, but we wanted to cycle on - so went a further 28kms or so up the road to Taketa and then left our machines at the station and caught a train back to Mie.
Takashi met us to the station and then took us to a hotel for a proper bath. On entering his family's restaurant, Kiku, we saw a large fishtank with all types of delicious looking creatures swimming around. Takashi told us about his time in London working at the world-famous Nobu restaurant. He gave us a couple of Nobu recipe books and told us to choose a few recipes and he would replicate them for us! We were too shy to request anything too fancy, but we did eat some amazing dishes, which I will write about in greater detail in my food blog next week!!!
Anyway, not only did Takashi and the rest of the Yasuda family feed us and wash our clothes, but they also let us sleep in the izakaya for the night!
Also, they made us breakfast in the morning and took us on a short sightseeing tour before taking us back to Taketa station and reuniting us with our beautiful bicycles.
Thank you so much to Kiku restaurant and the Yasuda family - we will never forget your kindness! Also thanks to Ryan for his kind donation!!
Thank you so much
