「10日目」Day 10

The bit of rest yesterday didn’t really improve much so we decided also to not push things today and had a start with a slow walk along the lake (because we had to check out anyway).

Since the other mountain directly at the late (Shiojiri-toge) also seemed quite steep, we decided to skip that one too for my foots health sake and tunnelled it via train to the next stop behind the mountain: Shiojiri.

一日の休みで足は急に治らないから、今日もチェックアウトの後、上諏訪に少しゆっくり散歩。諏訪から出るのに、塩尻峠を越えないと行けないので、医者さんのアドバイスを聞いてやはりやめた方がいい。電車でトンネルを通って塩尻まできた。

Tomorrow we want to continue our journey slowly and station wise it makes sense to stay in the popular Narai-juku tomorrow, in order to conquer the next mountain afterwards freshly in the morning.

So to shorten tomorrow’s kilometre count we walked about 5 km on the Nakasendo today to Seba. Unfortunately it’s so countryside that there was no train back to Shiojiri- so we had to walk a bit far to find a restaurant to kill 1.5 hours until the next train.. Tomorrow we’ll start from that station.

明日はでもゆっくりと中山道を続きたいので、荷物をホテルに置いて、距離的に今日5kmくらい歩いてきた。塩尻の次の駅まで。
ただ、洗馬という場所はとても田舎で、帰る電車はなかった。きゃー
駅のあたりにレストランもなく、1時間半の暇つぶしに少し歩いてレストランで食べて無事に塩尻帰りました。

Btw. Shiojiri seems famous for wine. There are grape plantations everywhere. Feels like in Switzerland a bit ^^ First the lake surrounded by mountains and now grapes and wine.
