13th DAY: Takayama Torrents

Rocky wanted to have a goodbye lunch with us but he was still busy so we took our time to get to the fishing center. We didn’t arrive until 2pm and waited for another hour before Rocky had time for a break. He a big BBQ with around 200 guests to prepare for that upcoming weekend so you can imagine how much planning that takes. We had cold soba noodles with tomatoes and pickles. We talked more about future plans and possibilities and stuff. It was so sad to be leaving. We said our final goodbyes but I have a feeling we’ll meet again.

We had promised the patisserie friend to visit him at his café. He makes some of the most amazing cakes I’ve ever seen and tasted. It gives me an orgasm just thinking of them. I ordered a chocolate cake and coffee. He showed us a photo album of cakes he’d made in the past. There were pianos, dogs, volleyball, basketball, police car, fire truck, etc… He said he gets customers from all over the region. I understand why, it’s no surprise! His café was also his house so he decided to show us his upstairs. It was unfinished but still very nice. It was simple, with a good view of Hagiwara and quite spacious. Unfortunately, it was getting late so we had to leave, in the rain.
It rained in buckets and slowed for the duration of our ride. But after we arrived to Takayama, there was a continuous downpour all night long. We opted to stay inside and use the computer. Using Mac OSX is a novelty these days and it’s a joy to use my own computer for the internet. We had a big day planned the next day so we went to bed relatively early.
