Miyazaki

1/05/2011 to 5/05/2011

The week down in Miyazaki was a good one but by the end i was ready to leave. We drank litres of soetue (not sure on the spelling) which is the cheapest alcoholic drink in Japan, its awful stuff and the fact it is used as an antiseptic or stylization in hospitals is enough to show its strong stuff. We didn’t just drink, on Murrays day off we headed to the beach, the weather wasn’t great but we had a go round a velo drome on which Murray even though he is 48 but he is a former BMX champion in Japan and New Zealand beat both me and Russell over a single lap. Murray has some of the most powerful legs in the world and he won the time off the start where both I and Russell were slow, over 2 laps and I’m certain we’d have smoked the old dog.

It was great to catch up and the week flew by, i was ready for some peace though as Murray and Darren who lives between are both pretty crazy old dogs living it up till the early hours though Murray does this after he has shut his bar at 3am!
