We took the bus from Chania to Sougia on the south coast which someone had recommended. I wandered all through the town looking for a room but alas there were no rooms available. I was very relaxed about this somehow and when a ferry came along we jumped on and sailed to Paleiochora and after a lot of no’s, as it was also all full I found a room on booking.com. Wow. Busy busy.
First day of the 14th international Aikido summit in Tokyo.
Being held next to the Yoyogi park in the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center. A huge venue and also loads of Aikido people from 88 different countries around the world.
Managed to participate and sweat out in 3 classes (out of 5) in very hot and humid climate.
