l cannot postpone forever but it was tremendously good that l walked following what the moment was bringing to me instead to stick to the original plan ...
At the dinner of the previous day, after l went to the fabulous spot l met again the australian guy, A, that he just came back from the Hiking to Jomon-sugi and he expected me to leave together in the morning at the 5 o'clock bus but he didn't know that l changed the plan because of no food ... anyway we decided, however, to go together to OKO-NO-TAKI waterfall in the next morning, because A ... you know what he was doing? he lives in Osaka (you can type in google map and see where it is) and he traveled to Yakushima by bicycle!!! (go and see where Osaka is) and not only this, l was sharing that l've been in Ishinami beach before coming here and he said "me toooo!!! l just camped there on the beach for a night and couldn't sleep 'cos of many mosquitoes!!!!" LOL!
So it was the last day for him too to stay in Youth Hostel, in fact he was leaving it and so he planned to stop on the norther beach and so he had to pass by to the biggest waterfall ... l took the chance to rent a bicycle and moreover the day was windy and hotty and sunny ... it took half an hour to reach to Oko-no-taki waterfall ... see from the ball 4 to the ball 6 in the polaroid shot ... it was fantastic to go by bicycle on the coast enjoying the superb view .... then we arrived there and it just rained right? so the water was powerful and thundering .... just give a look
and here too
l heard from N, the YH receptionist, that foreigners people swim inside there while japanese people don't. But then l also heard just in that dinner, that a japanese papa jumped in ... ooooohhh a daring one! (but not from the top! eeeeeeehh come on ... u were thinking that? no way!)
and so l said to A, lets jump in! ... he was looking here and there while l took off the clothes (l had already the costume hehehe) and then said OK! and l jumped in ... and trying to reach as close as possible to the waterfall ... guys .... i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e! as u enter in the water and while coming up on the surface, the current of the waterfall is so powerful that you are just helpless, you have just to let go and the current itself bring u back to the rocks and l jumped 4~5 times!!!
and people were shooting at me, for free!, also A jumped twice and he told me that there was even a japanese guy making a movie on me while jumping ... HELOOOO where did u disappear? l would love to see it!!! .... l also tried to ask A to shoot me a picture, but there was too much water around in the air that wasn't good for the camera ... never mind ... sorry.
But then u know what? ... after we had the jumping time and were ready to go away, who we met? N the receptionist! and she wanted to see me jumping ... OK once more l'll jump for ya but take a picture! and l jumped again (also because l really loved it!!!!) but then she said"once more please" .... BUT SURE and PLOF and CLIC!
She has the pictures ... when she will manage to give me l'll post it ;)
ciao ciao now l gotta go to eat!
