Cycling Day 46
I had an inkling that maybe I should head through the tunnels to Komagane today and have another go at Kiso-Komagatake from the south & east facing trails, but I didn't sleep much last night, so rather than try and figure that out now I'll head north to a campsite west of Matsumoto which is started figuring out before.

Beautiful morning!
I may have slept little, but this is still lovely. I've been chatting some more with Nicholas, but I guess it's time to start moving.

Some super-fancy places on the road up the mountain. Some nice hideaways for wealthy folks maybe! I think they're still selling off plots too if anyone's keen.
(Plenty of more normal and potentially abandoned places up here too though)

Just passed the forest park campground - also looked nice!
I've also just heard my first cuckoo of the trip - heard loads of them in Europe last year.
