After a busy couple of days packing everything I was finally off  and driving south. I said goodbye to the guys at work  and got some directions to Numazu where I was heading. They said 400kms  and 5 hours, so I was off at 8:30am as I had a meeting with the Numazu town office team. When I left it was cold  and had some fresh snow.
  
They are keen to help out  and maybe get some people to come join me when I run into town. Numazu I’m told is a real sporty town  and with Mt Fuji on one side  and the sea on the other I can underst and why. I couldn’t get a nice photo of Mt Fuji today but will tomorrow. Sorry.
I got stuck in a traffic jam for 1.5 hours in a tunnel which wasn’t the best,  and just made it to the meeting in time. Great guys  and super keen to help. I will have a day off here so will be able to enjoy whatever they think of.
I also have a good friend Aika  and her son Reece here. Aika took me out  and showed me the awesome seafood restaurants that you can find in Numazu. Damn it was good, fresh as!!!
  
    
Tomorrow I’m off to Hiroshima  and its 700km, so a long day ahead. I’ll be dropping the van off there  and flying  down to Okinawa. I’ll explain why tomorrow.
