06-04-09 Kashima Island pt2
Posted in Trip North on 06/10/2009 07:43 pm by ScottRisa wasn’t feeling at all well this morning so we are staying another day in the campground.
Not much to say about today. We walked to the top of the island to take some photos from the lookout point. I went to town to buy some medicine and food. A wedding couple and their camera crew came to the island to take photos.
That’s about it!
Looking ahead, it seems like we have about 200 miles until we reach Kobe. We are considering making a side trip to the islands of Naoshima and Shodoshima when we reach the city of Takamatsu. Risa thought that maybe we can just take a ferry from Shodoshima to Kobe, but that would involve skipping about 100miles and I think that’s cheating. Besides, Nakata-san said we should go see the islands, but then go back to Takamatsu to finish walking around Shikoku. He said that we should also make sure to see Naruto before we cross the bridge to Honshu. I guess Naruto has a famous coastline with giant whirlpools. BTW, no, Naruto does not have ninja’s.
