DAY 51: Relaxing in Onsen Heaven

2:30pm....I finally wake up. Last night did a number on me. I drink a bottle of water and eat Megan's delicious pancakes. Today, I am not even going to think about touching my bike. This town is known for onsens (hot baths), so I am going to take a day off and just boil like a potato. I definitely need it as my legs and body in general are spent from a week of non-stop riding.

Me and my new friend Tristan finally head out and catch a bus to a nice onsen. Inside we bathe, relax our sore muscles and talk philosophy and science. I feel like some ancient Greek in the public baths. We stay for almost two hours, but sorry....no pictures from this adventure (everyone goes butt-naked in the onsen!)

Dinner
We meet up with Megan and eat at a local joint. No partying tonight. I am supposed to leave tomorrow....but instead decide to stick around one more day. I got enough time to take it easy now.

I pass out as soon as we enter Megan's house and my head hits the pillow. Ah.........I am finally in Kyushu. Cape Sata is just around the corner. Sweet dreams tonight.
