Paused for peanuts...
I paused in a layby for a quick snack and a guy came up behind me and said hello. His name was Hayato Koboyashi (sorry, I've probably got that a bit wrong!). He'd seen the bike and wanted to say hi as he's a cycle-tourer too - he been around Hokkaido. He insisted on giving me lots of extra food even though I'm only 5km from my destination now. I'm not sure if I managed to convey that I was at the end of my tour, but I did make to give him the Pebbls link, so, thanks for saying hi and for all the food Hayato!
