Day 102

Yakushima
Back into the cloud forests again with my Japanese friends, heavy mist in the air, and the green moss growing thick and soft like the fur on a long-haired cat. Trees older than the pyramids entwine around each other in a kind of perfect chaos. The mystical forests in Miyazaki's Pricess Mononoke (if you haven't seen it, you REALLY should) were modelled on these ones, and there is something undeniably spiritual about these ancient woods. Spent hours wandering around taking photos, and left feeling cleansed and alive. Dinner of flying fish again, and slept in an abandoned restaurant by the sea.
