From South To North

This picture depicts my GPS tracking in the last couple of weeks. After watching the total eclipse of the sun on the Tokara Islands -- actually and unfortunately all I could see was the sun not hidden by the moon but covered with thick clouds -- I traveled up through the islands of Japan from Tokara via Tokyo to Kushiro. The temperature has come down more than ten degrees and it is way more comfortable here for me. I'm in really cool and calm conditions both in weather and mental. I can't believe that the hot and hard cruising days seeking for the special astronomical show were less than two weeks ago. I remember that someone once mentioned about a law in which the further we travel, the longer time elapsed we feel even if the actual time is not so long. I'm thinking about staying here for months and not moving around so much. If the law is true, the long days might feel shorter.
