The night before Saba-Daishi Bangai temple, I discovered that I had a double-whammy at the ryokan. I had an infected blister by my left heel and then I cut between my toes on my right foot that overlapped an existing blister. Icky and thankfully no pics.<\/p>\n<p>By the time I left the Bangai temple though, my feet were screaming in pain. Walking that day was out of the question. I was also falling behind pace with other foot problems and also had few good accommodation prospects if I walked slowly. My feet needed a break when I could not so I opted for buses and trains that day to help even things out. I could go forward but my feet wouldn&#8217;t be doing any massive distances.<\/p>\n<p>It breaks my heart a little still though. I so wanted to walk all of this though I knew it might be questionable. It was also happening along the bit of coast line I most wanted to walk beside. I made my choice even though it saddens me.<\/p>\n<p>The train doesn&#8217;t go all the way to the point though. You have to bus for that. I got off the bus at the huge statue of young Kobo-Daishi which was good because I was just meters away from the cave where he received his enlightenment too.<\/p>\n<p>The cave Isn&#8217;t much to photograph though.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195334.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195334.jpg\" alt=\"20130512-195334.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195217.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195217.jpg\" alt=\"20130512-195217.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195308.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195308.jpg\" alt=\"20130512-195308.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195245.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195245.jpg\" alt=\"20130512-195245.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195457.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195457.jpg\" alt=\"20130512-195457.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195549.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mywifeworksatshaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/20130512-195549.jpg\" alt=\"20130512-195549.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, confession time: I have cheated a little on this trip already.
