... that the staff is keeping track and will bring out another one as soon as it's taken. <br> <br>SAKURAJIMA VOLCANO<br><br>On my first day in Kagoshima, I took the ferry to the Sakurjima volcano, which used to be an island, but the last eruption turned in into a peninsula connected to the other side of Kyushu. The ferry runs 24 hours a day! After reaching Sakurajima, I took a walk along the Lxxx trail. The first thing I ...

... man schon von den netten Damen im Sand versenkt. Der drückt ganz schön und bei den Händen und den Wrist spürt man das Blut pochen. Die "Wiederauferstehung" wurde dann von Andi filmisch festgehalten...<br><br>Gut danach ich noch ins Onsen (andi nicht ! Spielverderber!!) mit den anderen Japanerinnen... Okay eine nette Alte hat mich geleitet aber nach den Duschkabinen war die leider weg und ich musste mich selbst durchbeissen. Okay aber ich wusste ja schon einiges. Hinsetzen auf kleine Hockerl ...

Also heute gings wieder mit den Shinkansen (hier ist plural gemeint... aber Shinkansens gibts ja nicht!) Richtung ganz süden, nachdem wir nur etwa 1 1/2 Std. geschlafen haben. Nach Sendai &#24029;&#20869; in der Nähe von Satsumasendai. Bin drauf gekommen das ich im Flugzeug scheinbar meine Handy Earphones vergessen habe, deshalb bin ich froh das ich meine PSP auch mitgenommen hab. Also musik hören und alles vorbeirauschen lassen... wobei wir zum schluss mehr in tunnel gefahren sind ...

... nearly 2 hours in there compared to my 15 minutes. The following day we crossed to an island called Sakurajima which is dominated by an active volcano. In the volcano museum we got talking to a French mother and daughter and ended up spending the whole afternoon with them just chatting and dipping our feet in scorching hot foot spas overlooking Kagoshima. The best moment was when Fernet (the 80 year old mother) told us that her first lover was English and she'd ...

... wh*t you c*ll * buzz kill. We c*lled *ll the phone numbers we h*d but nobody w*s up. App*rently *ll of the previous c*bs h*d m*de it through the g*te but it h*d closed for the night before we could m*ke it through. We *n*lyzed the situ*tion *nd fin*lly we *greed th*t if nobody w*s *round to *nswer the phone, nobody w*s there to bust us for hopping the fence. One by one we m*de our drunken w*y over the cyclone with b*rbed wire. Mikey slipped *nd on his w*y over *nd l*nded on his b*ckp ...

... but on the way we found a great gift shop where I got LV a local fruit candy. At the Ramen- ya, we ordered two Tonkotsu ramen and two gyoza for us to split. Again, I'm not a big fan of Tonkotsu as the broth is pork based and I usually find it oily. But this one was fantastic! Not oily at all, I've never had a Tonkotsu Ramen that was so good. The gyoza also was very good but very similar to gyoza you can get in Tokyo. Since ...

... out back to the main island. Oh and of course there were more nude grandpas and grannies. The sushi monster strikes again. We found another grocery store, right below the train station, where we were able to buy lots of discounted sushi 15 minutes before closing. It was yummy in our tummies! There is not much to do in this place but hey....at least were not working!! HAHAHAHA

... think we'd have? I felt like they were trying to catch us in a lie. Anyway, whatever. Sayaka was waiting for us outside, gorgeous as ever (and with a new hairstyle), worried she had misunderstood our emails and she was waiting for us on the wrong day! No, no, we got stuck in customs we said, and off we went to the bus. We had absolutely no idea what was happening, just that we were going to her home town and meeting her parents, which made us nervous ...

... the mainland. At the Kagoshima port, we took a ferry to Sakurajima. Then we enjoyed walking to Karasujima observatory on the Lava Nagisa Boardwalk which had a lot of lavas along the way. I took a bath in the public bathhouse with a view of the sea. We were fully satisfied with the island. However, on the ferry to the mainland, I realized we were next to late for our flight, but fortunately, the departure was delayed and so we barely made it. <br>

... journey would take 17 hours in total and 6 trains. It was also going to require some quick changes at some points. We managed to sort out accommodation for the remaining nights in Hiroshima and the 3 nights in Sapporo although the Sapporo place didn't speak good English, so I hope they got the message especially as we were going to arrive late. That out the way we looked round Kagoshima. Tsurumaru castle site was first along the way. There wasn't much to see ...
