From Takamatsu to Okayama, island hopping over the beautiful ~Seto Nakai~ is the ~Seto Ohashi~. Meaning 'big bridge', it's a whopper!!. At 12.3 km long!, including six bridges and four viaducts, two train tracks and a four lane motorway, it is an incredible feat of engineering and architectural wonder. I have in fact mistakenly tried to cycle across before, but you won't get very far as it's all motorway!!. I suggest catching a local train, one stop, then back. The view, especially at sunset is simply breathtaking. The Inland Sea has thousands upon thousands of islands, pristine and secluded, most too small to be inhabited...a huge natural zen garden!.
Anyway next stop, (as i dab my eyes), is Okayama and then the end of our Quest, boo! hoo!.
