Tokyo - Rest Day 


Originally many of us had planned to sign up with Kazu for a bike tour of Tokyo.  Mother Nature had other ideas.  The typhoon did indeed move in over night.  Nothing much on the agenda until this evening.  It has been raining quite hard, although it did let up a bit around noon.  I headed out for something to eat around 2 and of course that's when it really picked up again.  Sounds like Calgary had a little typhoon of its own - over 100 mm of rain in the last three days; 45 cm of snow at Highwood Pass.  Oh well - a good day to sleep in, catch up on the blog, and really do some resting on a rest day.  There really isn't too much else I want to see in Tokyo anyway, although it sounds like there are some nice museums about.  Off to a sumo "experience" tonight.........

Well, that was fun.............  Fourteen of us went off to Sumoland for a 2 hour Sumo experience - dinner and show.  




Some of our folks were really good sports and got into the ring with the professionals.  Lots of laughs.




There was a family there with about four little girls.  They didn't hesitate to take on the big guys; very cute!


A tourist trap for sure, but good laughs all around.  


Last night in Tokyo.  The storm has blown through, and we bus outta here tomorrow.

Here I go again.  After taking last year off from big bike trips, I thought this one looked interesting.  A totally new part of the world for me.  A new (to me) company, although I know a few people who have been repeat guests with them.   The company is TDA Global Cycling.  It's a Canadian company but they do epic tours all over the world.  Their flagship ride is the Tour d'Afrique.  The trip I'm doing is called "Journey to the East", and is one of their easier trips.     We cycle the length of South Korea from north to south and then fly over to Japan to cycle south to north through that country.  Big miles and lots of climbing, although a few more rest/tourist days than I've had on some tours.  I'm looking forward to being able to experience some of the culture along the way.  I'm always a bit nervous about whether I've bitten off too much, but so far I always manage.  I think I've reached the point in life wh...

Woke up to a notification that my flight was delayed until 5:30 pm.  No problem - time for a long walk, laundry, and a few last minute things. Thanks to Ursula for the ride to the airport. I was there really early, as planned, and beat any rush. The check-in agent hadn’t processed a bike before but with a bit of help I think it got through ok. As the boarding is about to begin, the AirTag shows it in close proximity to the plane. I ate my fill in the lounge and probably don’t need to eat again until sometime tomorrow. Next up - nearly 12 hours on a plane - ugh!  Last I looked, the seat beside me was empty. Fingers crossed….. Once on the flight, they were clear to announce that the flight would be 11 hours and 59 minutes.  Maybe some different regulations are required for a 12 hours flight?  In any case, it was all good.  Well, except for the screaming child directly behind me.  Couldn't listen to audiobooks/podcasts for a few hours at the start of the fligh...

Seoul Seoul (according to Wikipedia):  Seoul is the capital and largest city of South Korea.  The broader Seoul Metropolitan Area, encompassing Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, and Incheon, emerged as the world's sixth largest metropolitan economy in 2022, behind New York, Tokyo, LA, Paris, and London, and hosts more than half of South Korea's population.  The population of the metropolitan area is over 25 million. Seoul's history traces back to 18 BC.  In the early 20th century, Seoul was occupied by the Empire of Japan.  The city was liberated by U.S. forces at the end of WWII.  The Korean War (1950-1953) brought fierce battles, with Seoul changing hands four times and leaving the city mostly in ruins.  One estimate of the extensive damage states that after the war at least 191,000 buildings, 55,000 houses, and 1,000 factories lay in ruins.  Nevertheless, the city has since undergone significant reconstruction and rapid urbanization.  After a numb...
