「11日目」Day 11

Again a beautiful day although rainy season started a week ago.
We took the train to Seba where we left off yesterday and started our journey. You don’t even know how happy I am to continue (cry emoji).
My foot swelling seems to have nearly gone and I hope the weird feeling in my Achilles will be gone soon too. When I walk I feel great though we walk slowly and carefully with many breaks.

梅雨は始まりましたが、今日もとてもいい天気でした。昨日の続きで塩尻の次の駅洗馬からスタート。
明日の不具合なのに中山道を歩き続きそうで嬉しすぎます。(泣) だいぶ良くなってる気はしますが、まだゆっくりと距離を減らしていく。

The road keeps winding between huge mountains towards Nagoya direction.
For lunch we found a small old restaurant along the road which finally was cheap again (everything seems so overpriced here). I really love those trucker restaurants here. They have some “taste” (as in feeling) which the boring chain stores in the city can’t give you.

山と山の間に通りながら名古屋方面に降りて行く感じ。
トラック運転手は集まるボロめのレストランでランチした。なんか、そういうのは本当に好き。ばあちゃんのスタッフとその店と頑張ってる人の雰囲気。安くて美味しいし。
チェーン店はもう嫌になってきた。。

We continued all the way to Narai-juku today, the most beautifully preserved old village I have seen until now. It’s like going back in time!
Everything closes around 5pm though and there is no convenience store anywhere near.
We have the whole huge Minshuku hotel for us though – the corridors are so long it’s like living in a castle haha.
