Shimanami Kaido: Japan's Legendary Cycle Route You've Never Heard of...

Japan has many great cycle routes but none more spectacular than the Shimanami Kaido. Out of breath and sunburned, Alun shares his recent experience of taking on the 70km ride across the Seto Inland sea. We discuss how to access the Shimanami Kaido from Hiroshima, a curious hostel in the famous seaside town of Onomichi, and how you can get your hands on the world's number 1 sleep mask. Jump on, strap in, and follow that blue line all the way to the end. Support the show and access the Lost & Found section, as Alun shares another onsen experience with a new friend who's not so sure.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tripologypodcast Manta Sleep: https://mantasleep.com/ Get your travel stories in: https://www.tripologypodcast.com/talesofatrip Need travel insurance?
