I was up bright and early, too early for someone who went to bed only a few hours prior. I needed more sleep, and a Panadol. I felt like absolute crap. In fact, I may have still been drunk. Luckily Mitch made me a smoothie consisting of soy milk, protein powder and bananas. It was the hit I needed. After stopping at a convenience store (konbini) for a coffee, it was off to Temple 1, Ryōzen-ji (霊山寺) to begin my adventure.
