Cycling Day 29: To Hiroshima

Around the coast to go and see the peace museum tomorrow. Suchern said it was really busy and a tip from a fellow traveller was to book to go at 7:30am to avoid the crowds, so I've booked that for tomorrow morning as well as 2 nights in a hostel there.

Wild camping last night worked out fine but for the sweet chestnut casings under my tent. Fortunately I dug most of them out, so my inflatable mattress survived the night! I worry about water dripping up through the floor in the future though! I remember camping on holly leaves in Ireland too - also best avoided if you spot them!
