Ferry to Yakushima

It is an absolutely awesome pleasure to be on a boat again. It just makes me feel so alive. The wind, the water, the waves, far away horizons. I love it.

Yakushima appears in a shroud of clouds. There are only just over a hundred sunny days on this island it rains almost all the time if it isn't cloudy. But it has incredible flora and that's why people come here to hike. The volcanic origin of this islands is obvious in the steep slopes and the highest point at just under 2,000 m. Everything is green obviously.

The tourist information centers are very useful and they're very good with their tourists here.

All my stuff is moist without even getting wet or any rain. People mull about in the hostel without too much communication, just a little bit of conversation with the Frenchman and the Korean in my room. Maybe it's the rainy weather.

Early to bed tonight.Læs mere
