Today's blog ... A day that started with one plan and ended somewhere totally different. Certainly one of the big joys of having a campervan in Japan

Today's blog from a lovely seaside town in the north of Japan and a rather glorious bike ride, followed by an afternoon in the sea ... Yes it is very warm! vauclusedreamer.com/2025/10/11/d...

We woke this morning to the sound of a calmer sea. The waves that had been thumping against the sea-wall just in front of the van, yesterday evening had settled down, and it was now a gentle lappin…

Thanks, hope you enjoy it

Yesterday, we may have been a bit exhausted, but it all worked out well in the end, as we spent the night at a quiet little spot by a rather lovely beach. And we did managed to get to 7.30, before …
