Amami day2

March 30

Nice and sunny

Liked Ginryusou (Monotropastrum globosum) most in Kinsakubaru.

My first plan was to have a paddle in a canoe in the mangrove after that. The guide to Kinsakubaru suggested going to Kakeroma Island rather than the plan because of low tide and I took it.

Rang a B&B there but it was full which I didn’t expect. Rang another one and no one answered.

Anyway, got on a bus to Koniya where I would have catch a boat to the island thinking whether I could get an accommodation there.

After I got off the bus I rang the place and got a room there tonight. While I was wondering around the harbor, a man asked me kindly whether I was lost. That wouldn’t happen where I live and it delighted me.

The B&B had warm local family atmosphere. Besides me, there were 3 women from Tokyo, helped the B&B people and they fitted into it very well. That made the atmosphere even better. All the people there, including a diving instructor of the women, had seat around a fire place in the living room and had dinner which was too much for me to eat up. It was excellent being a part of it and I must admit this B&B is my favourit.
