Back from Golden Week

We got back home, after a long but pleasant drive in the rain, yesterday evening; and today, as it was still raining, we decided to have a day of rest (what is it that makes people need to rest after a vacation?).

We spent seven days and seven nights driving, camping and hiking around the beach on the Sea of Japan. We passed through multiple prefectures, and camped in four separate prefectures, spending the most time in Kyoto (not the city).

We took a lot of photos, and here are just a few:


Mystical Sunset over the Sea of Japan.


Brian's Pajero, a great SUV, parked at Campsite Three, where we spent the most time.




Brian smiles for the camera!

For a map of our route, visit Japan Rider, where you can also find even more photos.

Great pictures on the Japan Rider page. Looks like you had good weather and great scenery. But what did you do with all your time? Just hiking? Any biking?

BTW - the picture of the bug you took is a weevil. I don't know what kind but it is definitely a weevil of some kind. They are pretty distinctive little creatures.
