Wet wet wet. We walked for 8 kms in the pouring rain but it was still an incredible experience. The forest and trails took on a new life and the sound of the rain and the run off was so peaceful.
I slipped once with no ill effect and we ended 1km short as it was deemed unsafe to continue.
I finally enjoyed an onsen in a mineral bath which rejuvenated me no end. The meal we had for dinner was again nothing short of magnificent. Sashimi et al. I am now drinking beer. It is great for rehydration!!
