From Suita to Kunijima by bicycle

I suddenly had to brilliant idea to go by bike from Suita, the city where I live, to Kunijima. It ttakes about 20 minutes by train, but I also have to walk 20 minutes to the station. My guess that if I would go by bike it would take 40 minutes to go there. So there shouldn't be any time differences, except that will be tired, but I save 1.27 euro (it really counts up if you go back and forth often). I took pictures of the map with my mobile phone in order to find my way. Even with this map I lost my way onces :P which was pretty stupid. Lucky my phone has a fancy GPS navigation system ;) Underway it started snowing! :o Pretty unusual for the time of the year and of course precisely at the moment when I go somewhere with my bike. :(( Anyway I didn't encounter any spectacular view or whatever. So I didn't take any pictures.

45 minutes later I arrived in Kunijima, parked my bike and took the train to Umeda where I bought my White-day present for Mami. White-day is the equivalent of Valentine-day in Japan, only on White-day boys give presents to girls. This day is unique to Japan. I also tried to find a present for Shino. Wednesday is her birthday. I couldn’t find anything yet.
