Bamboo Hotel – roadside cottage - 90 km
The weather forecast predicted three hours of cloudy skies before
more thunderstorms. I, hence, hopped on the bike early. Midway, a
sign to a spa lured me in. The place was somewhat hidden away, and
it took walking through the forest before reaching the baths. I didn’t
spend much time indulging in these mineral-rich waters as the
weather came in and I felt it was best to get underway.
Fortunately, I managed to cycle virtually the entire way without
becoming soaked. The weather came in just as I reached a 24-hour
joint and couldn’t believe my luck. Typically, these 24-hour places are
love motels, and this one sported cute bungalows at reasonable
rates. I didn’t argue about the price and was happy to unload my
sopping wet gear in their little cottage. Their little shop offered an
assortment of goods, including cup noodles, refreshing beer, and
crisps, all of which perfectly suited my requirements.
