Tokyo to Izu Oshima
... You could buy almost anything including cigarettes and beer and an isotonic drink named Pocari Sweat. In Tokyo we saw cigarette vending machines and soft drinks machines, but no beer ones.

Japan moto trip (Izu Skyline)

Fiesta en el Jardin
Friday and Saturday was spent preparing for the party however the rare spectacular weather prompted a quick trip up Mt Omuro to see the views (up a chairlift and all).
