Today's blog, from the best campervan parking spot to date, and a lovely bike ride out along the coast. Watching boats cross a bay may not be everyone's idea of great entertainment, but we feel as if we have the best seats in the house vauclusedreamer.com/2025/10/15/d...

Day 21 – Wow, what a view to wake up to.

It's just stunning, and one of those views you can just sit and watch for ages, with all the boat traffic & birds too. You live in a beautiful area

We flew into Tokyo and have been moving west since. I think this is going to be pretty much as far west as we get now, as we want to spend some time on Shikoku and Nara, before heading back

Day 19 – Visiting the Cat Lord

Our little parking spot, at the entrance to Kanba Falls worked really well last night, and we had a peaceful night’s sleep, with the mountain stream running behind us. We even managed to find…
