Sarukajima

This round island is a 15minute ferry ride from Kagojima. It is a volcano that spews plumes of ash most of the time.

The ash falls, of course. I put on sunburn cream. The ash stuck to it. Jo scratched his head, his fingernails were black with it. Drifts of dark grey, fine pumice gather on the sidewalks. Imagine trying to keep a house clean!

We went to the island to try their public footbath. It was lovely.

Blogging from the iPad has its restrictions. It now tells me that I have run out of space. So I will have to limit uploading photos and even delete some photos of cats.
