Had a day off today. What better to do than to renew your driving license. And since the place to do that is a bit off, I took the opportunity to enjoy the blue sky with a long bike ride along rice fields and farm land.

Renewing the driving license went smoothly and I was soon off to explore the northern parts of Hamamatsu. Mostly farm land bordering to mountains.

Stopped at Notice for lunch. A really nice restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Italian food made of mainly homegrown organic vegetables. Recommended.

After Lunch I started on a long explorative journey heading towards my apartment. Riding the backstreets, turning towards where things look interesting. Returned back at the apartment in the afternoon (after 40-50 km ride) and rewarded myself with sweets and tea on the balcony.

And a nice salad with bread and cheese for dinner.
