Miyazaki 16/03-17/03

After a nigth in Kagoshima i went for a day trip to Miyazaki prefecture, this area is on the most weestern-southern point of Kyushu. The climate is in contradiction to the wintertimes in hokaido, subtropical in this part. I am on the same hiegth now as Jeruzalem, so you can imagine the wheather (but is was raining last two days). I have for the first time this trip the feeling that i am in Asia, because of the climate, the dirtyness, the humidity, but also of the very friendly people. The day trip was along the west coast of the pacific. I visited some islands with a kind of washboard rockformations and some view points over the Pacific. Final visit was a beautiful temple complex built in a cave. The color of the paths, buildings and laterns contrasted beautiful with the blue sea. See for yourself, sayonara
