「18日目」Day 18

It was heavily raining as expected today so I slept a little longer (not getting up at 6:30 like usual). We had some bread and took the train back to Tarui to continue where we left off yesterday…
But a car stopped on the railway crossing so we were stuck on the train for over 2 hours!!

予報どおりにたっぷり雨は降ってましたので、いつもより長く寝た。パンをつまんでから垂井までの電車を乗ったら…
車は踏切にはさまり、電車は2時間も動かなかった。｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Afterwards we walked in the rain from Tarui to Sekigahara.
Sekigahara was where the most important inland battle took place in October 1600 which Ieyasu Tokugawa won. This was the key point which made Tokugawa a shogun and started the Edo period.

Unfortunately due to the train incident earlier the whole schedule was chaos so again we had to wait another 40 min until we could take the train back to our hotel.

Good this was our “rest day” anyway. (Except for the little progress walk because I can’t just not do anything haha)

今日は雨の中、垂井宿から関ヶ原まで歩いた。ここは徳川家康の戦場でしたね！
知らなかったー！

そしてまた話変わるけど、朝の事件でダイヤは外れすぎて、関ヶ原駅でまた40分を帰りの電車に待たないといけなかった。ふー

まあ、今日は休みの日にして良かった。少しだけ歩いたけどねw

Good: Finally rain! (For walking not that great but a nice experience and good for all the veggies and plants which had me worrying)
Bad: All the delay and waiting. Ugh!
