High up campsite!

· Japan

We finally reached the campsite, but it was the other side of the vine bridges and there was a big sign saying we weren't allowed to cross after business hours 🫤
We didn't have much choice but to disobey... hopefully they won't be too upset if we pay in the morning...

Crossing the bridge with our luggage was quite scary!

There was a couple who speak Chinese staying the night too and they had a fire going. Suchern speaks Chinese and they welcomed us to join them by the fire. They only had instant noodles after an 8 hour journey from Osaka which should have been 4. We were able to share the miso paste I picked up as an experiment (failed - it wasn't good on bread!).
