The Plan

That never worked! of course.
But it is good to tell u what it was so u can see what happened after ... remember that l had to postpone the plan because of typhoon? well, l stayed 3 more days in Nango and just this memorable day l wanna tell u before going on on Yakushima island ... there was strong wind and rain, actually the typhoon was approaching closer and closer and u know what l said to A? "YO, LETS GO TO THE BEACH ... BEACH YES, NOT BITCH, B-E-A-C-H ... WITH RAINCOATS TO HAVE A LITTLE DANCE WITH THE POWERFUL WIND!!!" and A "OH YEAH! ...GOLO LETS GO!" ... he even took his dog Golo!!! LOL ... and so we went to the beach that was nearby with 5 min. walk and the nicest thing l ever felt was: facing the sea, smelling the waves roaming forth with lots of rains kicking on my face and what l did? just turned around with the wind blowing on my back, l just pretended that there was a chair and actually sat down, u believe it or not, l was sitting as if the chair was there under my ass and it was just the sheer power of the wind to keep me up!!!! AWESOME!!!!
Ok here is the plan that l was talking about ... staying at Yakushima Youth Hostel in the camping site for just 1 night and the next morning early at 5 o'clock l would leave to go in the wild mountain and staying 2~3 days between mountain huts and tent then back to the coast to have another 2~3 days on the seaside, l heard that the water is fabulously clear and warm with tropical fishes, and of course l would not fix the date of return because who knows whats behind the corner?
So on the 4th of august early morning, l planned to take the train at 6 o'clock from Nango to go to Kagoshima to take the Rocket at 12:30 ... ALRIGHT miracle, here back is the post, that l was so blind to not find the draft page, ok google l hope u'll forgive me for that little finger (^-^) !!!! ok cool lets go on ...
But A did a nice favor to me, because it take almost 5 hours from Nango to Kagoshima by train, and not the express one that are very expansive, so he had a friend living near one station that was exactly on the half way and therefore he took the chance to go to see this friend of his own by bringing me by car to that station, Nishimiyakonojo!!! very nice!

So u see? these are all last minutes decisions ... which make me feel that is useless to plan although sometime it is necessary to have a plan but l cannot take it anymore seriously!!! inshallah.
Then on the map l marked that purple spot because when l came back from Yakushima , before re-entering in the Kagoshima port, from the rocket boat l took this picture that l found so majestic this mountain so big, and when l posted in the flickr l commented that may be it was a volcano ... so l checked out and YES indeed, it is.

Fellas, l'm proud to introduce to you: Sakurajima Volcano!

Yeah of course it was there, i knew it, but of course the anger makes you blind eh eh not seeing what's under your nose and that boat looks like an hydrofoil - was it flying on the water? and bumping against the waves? it makes me sea sick, but when the sea is calm and quiet it is a beauty to go.

the boat ne ... it was more like to fly in an airplane ... really no bumping at all unless there are really big waves but with normal waves it is like just like the plane ... you won't feel seasick with this boat ... not like that time with gommone in the tempesta remember?

i know that's like flying, i went to Ponza with this kind of boat and i was seasick all the time, the bumping was horrible, the weather too and the waves like that day!
