( Ararat – Beaufoot – Ballarat – Ballan – Melton – Melbourne)
19th
I was heading to Glenroy, Melbourne, 34km far from here.
I was taking back road, and that way has many hills.
So many traffic, strong wind, not kindly people made me sad, everything tired for me.
I saw “Seven Eleven” today, that time I felt I’m into the great city.
This day was very tough day.
But I made it!!
I have arrived at Melbourne!!!!!!!
This charity walk is quite hard chalenge, but I want to support for tsunami victims and children.
If you have a time, watch this short video.
I hope you can understand why am I trying to this walk.
This is such a impressed movie.
【 We will Always Remember You 】
When I have arrived at Glenroy, one Japanese guy welcomed me.
His name Nobby, he is a pilot.
He and his friends welcomed me and they made Japanese hot pot, some beautiful meal for me!!
Also Japanese beer too!!
I was enjoying that dinner and conversation with them.
I felt relived.
Thank you very much everyone!!
Finally I have arrived in Melbourne today!!
From Perth to here, I was taking almost 3,250km.
This way was so long and so hard, but I made it!!
I was taking a bath, and good sleep.
20th – 25th
I have enjoyed this holiday.
I met again my friends, from Adelaide and my home town Shimane prefecture!!
We watched Japanese World Cup football game in city, eat Ramen noodles and Japanese meal.
That was delicious.
Another day, we went to Great Ocean Road, of course by driving haha.
