Today we take the ferry back to Kagoshima, but first we have a few hours to see some more sights from the rental car before we have to turn it back in and catch the ferry boat.
This high bridge, above the nearest town where we lodged, appears to be a backup route as the main island road bridge appears very vulnerable to a disastrous typhoon or tsunami.
At the ferry boat terminal, a humorous poster informs tourists not to feed the monkeys - at the bottom are "devious monkey", "angry monkey", "my tummy hurts monkey", and finally "lazy monkey".
Now back in Kagoshima, this is the only picture you get, the hotel provides free ramen and mushroom soup after 930pm.
