We woke up early the next morning and, after a breakfast consisting of the hard boiled eggs and bread that I had bought the day before, started walking at 6:15. We had to go almost 30 kilometers to get to our lodging for the night.
The road was much the same as yesterday, beaches separated by hilly headlands. At one point we had to walk though a long tunnel. It was pretty scary when large trucks came by because, as you can see, there was no real sidewalk, or as Ian would say 'footpath'.
As always there were places that were extremely picturesque. This flight of stairs led up to a Shinto shrine that I would have loved to investigate, but we did not want to take the time.
Some of the houses were very large and prosperous looking, but the towns were run down with many permanently closed shops.
At one point the Henro Trail left the main road a followed a quiet country lane for a couple of kilometers. Again most of the house looked well cared for.
We entered the town of Mugi and found a small shopping center. The town must love poets because this sign was painted on the most prominent part of the building.
