Day 96
Tarumizu -> Sakurajima
Dist:43km
Sakurajima was an island until a huge eruption less than 100 years ago filled the sea and turned it into a peninsula. The angry peak smoldered away today as I rode around it - past homes with fallout shelters and kids who have to walk to school with helmets on. Was about to get a ferry to the city when I spotted a hip little cafe. Ended up spending the afternoon with its very chill Okinawan owner, talking and listening to him play the jamisen (Okinawan guitar). A BBQ with his girlfrnd and crashing on his floor tonight.
