Bike ride To Minoh

Well, I could borrow Tomoko's bicycle, it was a little small: just imagine me on a tiny race bike... Maybe I have to mention here that it was my first time cycling one left-hand traffic. Plus that there is actually no precise traffic regulation for bicyles as far as I could understand. If you're fast you ride on the lane the cars which are driving in the same direction. If you ride on one of those "mama-tsharry" as they call the bicycle with the little basket on the handle-bar, you can drive against the traffic or on the "pavement". It can lead to some funny situations.
In the north of Toyonaka there is this little city called Minoh. And after Minoh it gets hilly. As I was climbing the steepness of the hill there are a couple a monkeys playing crazy on the road about two meter away from me...

Monkey on the road... ups

How would you react? I felt something like fear and excitement. Of course my next reaction was to grab my camera! Hee hee, nice one!

Ok, that one was not on the road but really cute

Then I found this trail leading to the Minoh park. Quite nice with it's water fall at the end of the trail. The only pity was that the main part of the way was asphalted... thus I didn't have the full feeling of nature : (
