Day 5 - Shizuoka to Shimada -

• 7:00

Woke up. I was so tired that I slept the whole night. This place sloses at 9AM, so I take a bath again and prepare to depart.

• 8:50

Depart from the public spa. The pain on my knee gets better today than yesterday night. My shin isn't well, and to make matters worse, it swells. The pain on my shin is so terrible that I can't move my ankle

• 9:10

I have breakfast at the nearest Gust, which is one of the most famous and popular family restaurants in Japan. My body needs more calories!

From now on, I requently had lunch at Gust, because I found many Gust along the Route 1.

• 10:30

I arranged to meet my senior at 1PM at a near car pard. I need to kill time before I meet him. My conclusion is just to sleep, because I feel so sleepy. I'm going to move to a Manga cafe to take a nap.

• 13:00

I met him and he drove to a food court. Near Higashi-Shizuoka station, there are many new buildings, such as the station itself, a shopping mall and apartments.

• 17:00

He drove me to Rokugo station at Shimada-City. I don't prohibit using cars, but I am ashamed to drive long distance, so I asked him to drop me off at the station, where is about 30km away from Higashi-Shizuoka station.

• 18:12

Arrived at Rokugo station. I didn't walk today, so I have enough envergy to go to Kakegawa, which is 20km away from the station. But I decided not to walk to Kakegawa today, because there is Kanaya-Peak between the two stations. Crossing peaks in dark is dangerous, so I'd better stay here. At today's Manga cafe, I carefully massage and stretch my legs. Even more, I apply a poultice on my left ankle. I hope my leg to recover soon.
