After we had finished breakfast, Hideo san drove me in his van towards the Airport so that I'd know the easiest way to get there without getting lost. He said he would have dropped me and my bicycle off there himself if not for a previous work engagement he had at 9:00. What a guy!

At about 8:30am Hideo and Junko Shioi saw me off as I made my way to the nearby Chitose Airport on Mr. Green.

Thank you so very much for everything Hideo san & Junko san. You made my last night in Hokkaido one I'll surely never forget!
