I conquered the Hakone pass! Or at least I managed to push my bike over the Hakone pass... Ok la... 40% push... This hill was worst then Aoyama... It was steep... It was long (15km straight uphill!)... And I lost my cleat so I can't utilise my pedals!!! Total distances rode 106km... Set off at 0900hrs... Reached hotel at 1915! When I reached the hotel... I wanted to hug all the staffs and cry...
This point marked the start of the uphills into Hakone, pass the Hakone pass and into Odawara... From where I detoured to Hadano and into Isehara...
Bamboo forest in the hills of Hakone...
Lake Ashi... Why is there a lake in the middle of the hill? It's a pretty sight...
Highest point of National route 1... I climbed upto 874m? After this signboard was a long and winding downhill to Odawara... This downhill was done at an average of 25km/hr... Because there was traffic jam?!? And the curves are... Curvy... Safe... Not dead...
Do not trust my camera's time stamp! This signboard brought tears to my eyes... I are wet with sweat... My toes are frozen... I just want to lay down and sleep... From Hadano onwards... I actually kept myself going with chants of "Isehara! Isehara! Isehara!"... I can only blame myself for booking a hotel in Isehara... Which is in the middle of Kanagawa Prefecture... Odawara is at the side... My next distinction Yokohama is at the side... But I have to go book a hotel in the middle of Kanagawa! Oh yeah...
Went to a Koban to check my direction... The policeman on duty was quite shocked to see me... Confirmed that I'm on the correct route and continue to the hotel...
1st dinner... Raman again... Brought it at the basement of 7-11 Department store... ?!?
2nd dinner... From Matsuya... Grilled beef set for 630yen... Free upgrade to big bowl of rice... Wolfed down the rice... Hungry!
Completed my collection of Kaman Rider keychains... 10 in total... Comes free with every bottled drinks purchased from 7-11... Hehe...
