day 38, 8:31am, rain!

all day yesterday people were telling me that there would be a big downpour in the evening and they were right!
oh boy, did it rain! :)
i planned to cut the day short and stay at the tsuyado at temple 81 but, yet again, although my notes said there was one, the staff assured me they didn't have a place for henro.
i took a chance and headed for a hut just before temple 82. it turned out to be perfect. it's big, pretty well protected and it has toilets and water.
still, the water made it's way in and most everything is wet. my bivi bag sure paid for itself. it was a bit damp but i stayed warm and cozy.

so, now i'm trying to get things dried out. it's a bit of a slow morning. :)

today i'm heading into takamatsu city. hopefully, i can find a coin laundry.

later,
