Hokkaido Touring Day 17: Flowers

English | 日本語
I wake up at 5 AM to go to the bathroom. Everyone else got up, too. I ate a vegetable ramen noodle for breakfast. After cleaned up the room we took photo for us to part sorrowfully from leaving, and promised to meet again next year. I started touring 7 AM.
It was cloudy in the morning and traffic was light, so I cycled comfortably. After about 30 km, I reached the roadside station in Otoineppu. I heard that there is nothing, actually it was just only a toilet.
I saw a lot of flowers along long straight road side today. About 25km further, I talked with a female motorbike rider during I took a break eating an ice cream at a roadside station in Bifuka Town. She said that many of the old-time bicycle tourists were so dirty, but they are beautiful these days. I couldn't help but worry about my own appearance.
I continued on and arrived in Nayoro City when it was almost noon. I was looking for a drugstore since it's a big city, and I found a Turuha Drug. I was able to get an alcohol fuel safely, but the price was a bit high. I had lunch at KFC for the first time in a while.
I examined with google maps to see where I'm going to sleep today, and I found out Suigo Park free campsite 20 km away. Considering that I will be going around Furano tomorrow, I decided to go there because I want to get some distance out of it.
On the way, I found a pair of cyclists ahead of me, unusually, in the same direction. I caught up with them, and they were a young gringo couple, and we talked as we rode, and they were from Romania. They're running from Wakkanai, Hokkaido to Fukuoka, Kyushu.
I wish them well on their journey and go on ahead. With 10 km to go, I took another ice cream break. When I leave there, I saw the cyclists from earlier and asked them if they had decided on a campsite, but It seemed like they were wary. I thought I would help them if they are in trouble, but I think it would be fun to do it on their own, so I just said good luck to them.
I bought a Canned chuhai at Seicomart near the campground and started finding its entrance. I asked the people working in the park because it is difficult to know how to get into the campsite. Finally, I reached for there. As the Google comment said, there was no one, no bath nearby. So I washed myself and my clothes at the same time in the tap.
While I was setting up my tent, a young man on a scooter came along. We talked with each other as I prepared for dinner. He said he was coming from Fujinomiya and It's the first time in Hokkaido for a while, so he's going to go north and wander around for a while. He said he had fun fishing and digging for gold in Hamatonbetsu. He didn't have his own cooking equipment and ate a bento-box bought in a Seicomart. He said he will definitely do so next time with seeing my meal cooked by me.
I went to bed early at 8:30 PM because I was tired after a lot of cycling today.
