Ok here l am, still breathing!!!
l made a couple of Polaroid shots, one from my actual map and one, if you are lunatic that enjoy a satellite view from the moon just like me, then here it is! those are 13 points that show the places l've been, that now l'm gonna tell you the story of each spot ... so where do we start? from ball number 1? ppppprrrr wrong! because l already told u till the ball 3 so lets travel further ... well, after Senpiro-no-taki Waterfall, U&Y gracefully brought me to the spot 4, Hirauchi, where there was the Youth Hostel and it was becoming soon dark ... we talked for a possibility to go together to see Jomon-sugi tree the next day ... but my timing to go there was early morning with the bus of 5 o'clock AM, and only that bus was available at only that time ... because the trail from Arakawa (spot 11), the last bus stop, to Jomon-sugi was a pretty 5~6 hours of hiking, it mean leaving at 5 AM and reaching at the ancient tree at 12~1 o'clock, lunch time! PHEW!
Somehow it wasn't possible to go together so we gave a good farewell and hoping to meet again at the tree ... then l went to set up the tent in this "funny" camping site as u see in the pic. and l must say that it wasn't so good because the base of the tent wasn't stretched properly as it should with the pricking tools in the soil and not with ropes only ... and l needed extra ropes for that kind of platform ... in fact, in the rainy days from the corner, inside the tent, was coming a little bit of water!!!! MY GOSSSSHH!!! WHAT A FFFFFF****G TENT???? but l managed with some tissue papers ... and do you know that in Yakushima rains 35 days a month!?! YEPPPP!!!
that means every-holy-day ... almost.
Cool ... then l went to have a dinner in the dining space and there were boyscout group sprawled around and an australian guy of about my age having fun telling his stories with food in his mouth and beer in his brain and speaking half english and half japanese ... after a while we agreed to go together to the mountain since he also planned to go but he would go back in the hostel in the same day whereas l would remain there ... and so then it became 9 PM and l had to go to buy some food for 2~3 days, l knew there was a convenience store near by and l asked to N, the receptionist, the way ... and you know what she said? "But now it is 9 PM ... it is close." ... ??? ... "close? excuse me, convenience store doesn't mean 24 hours open?" ... "YEAH sure ... in Tokyo!" ... !!! Alright then, see how l fucked up with this plan? so l decided that the next day l will organize the food and going around may be on the seaside to have a bath or something
