So, finished at the high school early today, and the weather was lush. So I decided to go for a bike ride around the lake, 26KM's in all. So I get changed, grab my jacket, iPod and a bottle of water and go.

This photo was taken in my new favourite place in Japan. In the middle of my ride, I decided to take a break, and found this gorgeous little hideaway, that overlooks the lake, and is amazingly quiet and peaceful. I stopped here for a drink, and took a few photos.

Also found this little pebble beach, which was completely deserted. Stayed here for a while, then carried on until I reached the end. It was an amazing ride, saw some beautiful views and places. I took a heap of pictures, and mostly listened to Billie Holiday and Kirsty Maccoll.
