With Day 9 being a day to rest, bum around, and do some planning, I was hoping for a sleep in. Unfortunately my body clock had other ideas, and so I was up at five o'clock with way too much energy to burn. In saying that, however, I'm glad I got up when I did.  Out the door well before sunrise, I went to the 7-Eleven next door for my morning coffee, then took my place on the deck back at Pavilion Surf to watch my first proper sunrise over the East Coast of Japan.
