I woke up accepting the notion that I may, in fact, have rain for the rest of my pilgrimage. But with Typhoon Lan en-route, I didn't expect to see the sun for days. Luckily I woke up feeling revitalised after a nice deep sleep, and my pain had completely disappeared from my legs and feet. After a long hot shower I got dressed into my fresh clothes, and visited a Circle K konbini for breakfast. I sat at the bench inside and used this dry time to go through my guide book, look at Google Maps (I had the track programmed in, it was brilliant), and plan my attack for the day ahead.
