Biwa

To celebrate our koseki (family register) producing visit to the municipality office, Yuya and I decided to cycle around lake Biwa (the blue spot on the map East of Kyoto). After three hours cycling from our home we arrived at ten in the morning at the starting point of our trip, a bridge.
The East side of the lake













When we arrived in the old town of Nagashima we were smelly and dirty enough to go to a nice and clean hotel. The next day we passed the north and the most beautifull side of the lake.






The last part of our trip was definitively the hardest. We almost managed to forget, but there are a couple of mountains between the lake and Kyoto. And it stinks being passed with great speed by 'real' pro looking cyclists when you are trying very hard to crawl up a mountain.
Still, we made it!
