Lunch stop

· Japan

Shortly after a supermarket where U picked up some mochi (it was in a bag rather than rigid plastic, so the rubbish packs down smaller - always good here where rubbish is awkward to dispose of!), a matcha chocolate ice-cream (eaten immediately!) and a potato salad bag to squeeze into sandwiches, I was pleased to see these shades benches come into view. It's very hot today, even in the shade - my speedo says 30.6degC, although the weather forecast says it may only be 29degC.

Definitely tempted by the multi-pack ice-cream option used in previous trips if it's still this hot later!
