Here are more pictures from my trip. Hope you enjoy them!

This is where we spent first two days in Amami. 

Very tropical!

Amami's natural mangrove. We wanted to canoe but didn't... 

There are some beautiful beaches in Amami. 

Yoron island. 

The sea in Yoron. 

Yurigahama beach in Yoron. People usually pay 2000 yen for a boat to get to this island - we (stingy) two people just swam for half an hour!!

It has been a long time...

I can't believe that over a month has passed since my last post - and here is my new one!
I did many things this past month and was very busy... excuse, excuse... . but I guess I am just lazy.
I went camping in Tokushima for four days at the end of July, climbed Mt. Tsurugisan - the second highest mountain in Shikoku, had a celebration for my pretty nephew Yamato etc ... and the best thing was a ten-days trip to Amami and Yoron island during my summer holidays. It was a pity to see some dead coral reef but still enjoyed my first snorkeling - back of my body got tanned so much. I have never thought I could be an outdoor girl but now, I kinda like my brown skin!

Such a picturesque moment in Amami. The most beautiful
sunset I have ever seen.

A cute statue -wee wee! 

Tokushima's famous Kazura bridge. 500 yen to just cross - rip off!! 

It was a perfect day for mountain climbing.

This 15 minutes chair lift ride was so much fun and then, 50 minutes hell time of climbing...

There was a rescue by helicopter on that day, which was like a movie. 

A beautiful view from halfway up the mountain.
Watch out, Mr. DJ ：Ｄ！　

I almost gave up climbing but many other climbers cheered me up
"You are almost there, gambatte!" . I am so glad I made it to the top
to get this view.

Sakurajima mountain in Kagoshima - an active volcano! 

A cute chubby dog on a same ferry. 

Everyone was having relaxed time on a ferry. 

This pretty baby is my nephew, Yamato. It was his 100 days celebration.

Me, asking for help to make Yamato smile!

And Yamato's pretty smile.
