To the observatory
Shiroyama park observation deck
42k step day.
After a brief sit down from the earlier double activity, where I never sat down even once, including standing up on the train, I headed back out into the late still not raining afternoon and spotted a hill behind the shopping area.
A quick google suggested I needed to go around and up a road to get up there, but I did not really believe that, and so I just headed straight for it and found a stair case.
The view from the top was great, and obviously featured a volcano, still not erupting. There were also cats.
Anyway, it is a 5:15am wake up call tomorrow to get the first train out of town to a hike in the far south, so just a few pics and an early night.
Most people find vending machines with used schoolgirl under garments to put on the internet. I find vending machines with assorted purple sweet potato snacks.
Here is the aforementioned staircase.
Behold, once more, Sakurajima. I plan for this to be the last such photo.
Some more of Kagoshima as seen from the observatory.
Of course if you feel like getting conjunctivitis, you can.
And then for dinner, vegetable soup curry. My second time having this so far on this trip, although the last time was in Hong Kong. Neither of them were in Hokkaido where it comes from, they have big bears there.
