The clouds cleared after a few drops of rain and it suddenly got very hot! After refueling at a local food place I kept on biking. Near the end of the trail, on the second to last island, there was this nice beach with quite a few swimmers. I couldn't resist jumping in the water.
If you have more time and you plan it right you could spend 2-3 days along on this trail. Chill on the beaches and enjoy the nature.
Sorry for all the bridge pictures. The shimanami kaido has 6 main islands, and so it has 5-6 quite large bridges that you cross. And it's very scenic. Since I used 1 ½ days for my trip it took many detours, and a few stops. One stop was the Kosan-ji temple.
I still can't really explain the feeling of this whole experience. To be on the road like this. Without a safety-net, and with only a backpack on my shoulders.
