「７日目」Day 7

This morning it was still a bit chilly when we left at 07:55 am and after a bite from the convenience store we set off.
After some kilometres I could feel my right foot again (it hasn’t been so great and after the hike I think I over stressed more of the bands (Achilles tendon?) in the foot so we had to take more rest breaks and I have to sometimes change the weight on my legs to take some pressure off my right side when walking.

今朝はまだ少し涼しかった。コンビニのご飯をつまんでから出発。
数キロ後はもう右足の痛みをスタート(山登りで足の腱や筋を少し傷めたかな？) それで休憩をボチボチしながら行った。

Today was no much to say apart from that so I’m just going to add a few pictures.
We arrived in Mochizuki, and from here there might be two to three more mountains waiting for us tomorrow or the next two days.

今日も見るところについてはあまり書けないけど、最後の方はでも可愛い町がありました。
佐久市の望月に着きました。かなり有名は旅館に泊まることにした。
大正時代に作られ、置屋だったとの話も聞いた。昔は望月で芸者さん50人もいました。
もったいない！
今日は昔ながらに泊まる。

After a yummy dinner we could finally relax at a nice and famous Ryokan which is from Taisho era (100 years ago)
We also heard that this used to be an Okiya in old time and that there were 50 Geisha in this town! (Now they’re all gone 😭)

Today’s thoughts:
Good: It didn’t rain even the clouds were daunting
Bad: My right foot needs to get better I’m concerned it’s inflamed. But I need to get out of the mountains first to a bigger town.
