Sayonara, typhoon
At last, the effects of the typhoon were gone. It was sunny, warm and dry.
| After wake-up baths and a breakfast of many delicious
breads and coffee in the cabin, we finished packing. Neal, Kazuko
and Ardinal -- packed like sardines in the Jeep -- drove to Oita for the
ferry to Shikoku, covering in less than a day the route that Rick and I
would savor all week.
Mount Aso is actually the name for a ring of five peaks surrounding the world's largest active-volcano caldera. We barrelled downhill from Jigoku Onsen and had a quiet, easy ride across the flat basin, following Route 325 beside the jagged peak called Nakodake to Route 265. |
