Ojo-dake

One of the five peaks which make up Aso-san

Yellow valley view

Kiro's rock formation.

Leaving our mark on Mt Aso

Volcano bunkers

At first we didn't know what they were, but the closer we got to the rim, the more we saw. Luckily we didn't need them

This is what you should see!

Billowing sulphuric clouds

When the sulphur clouds cleared

No diving or running

in the green bubbling, eggy smelling, sulphur pumping lake

Moon scape

mound of ash on barren lava fields

Last eruped in 2004

Multi-coloured rocks

with a peppering of ash

Fearless volcano conquerors

Vocanic rock face

made 300,000 years ago, give or take a day of two!!!

Even the rocks have autumnal colours

Kirstin jumping for joy!!!

ArrSoo!!!
Hi Bro and Kirstin, so your going native, kimono's has not reached the essex high street fashion as yet but you could always start a new trend once you are back, i'm sure the Buckhursthill girls would look great with their faces powdered white instead of the usual orange glow. it's sunday night mum is over, just having a glass of wine waiting for strickly to come on, I'm sure this sounds really exciting but to us this is as good as it gets!!
