Finally they've arrived in Japan. They have the motorcycles already, about a day ahead of their estimation. It's a special feeling riding Japanese motorcycles, having ridden from Iceland all the way to Japan on them.

It's been a short day today, only around 30km/18mi on the left side of the road. There was a minor detour but they recovered quickly. All the signs are in Japanese, of course, and not very easy to understand. Also the people don't really speak any English so communication is complicated.

There were a lot of Drive-In hotels on the way, something they considered to take advantage of the first night. However they soon realised that the hotels were for prostitutes and their clients. The room might have been inexpensive but the service costs extra.

Today's leader found a luxury hotel where they decided to spend the night instead.

The plan for the next few days is to go to Tokyo and be there before Thursday, They'll need to go to the embassy to get papers and get information about the flights to Alaska. A motorcycle club in Tokyo has been in touch, Cayjun, and they might meet some of it's members.

It's about 25°C/77F and a humid mist in Japan, the time difference between Iceland and Japan is 9 hours.

Yesterday they had spent 7 weeks on the trip and around 6 weeks left.
