Campervan adventure in Japan, part 33

 



On board home-dried persimons. Yummy!!
Marijke definite approves.


Yappari, steam your own meal. Fun thing to do in Beppu. And.... it tastes surprisingly well.


Beppu Hell Ponds. Great destination for this time of the year. 2 reasons: 1) There are far and few visitors in town. 2) It's crisp outside, just hop in one of the many-many hotsprings to warm up.






31 Dec 2023. Reflecting on a succesful and camperful year.


Billie, rental AKA and Alishan.


 Mellow Yellow Autumn.


Sy Koru in Odo Yachtharbor.
Waiting patiently till the owners will return from Europe.
Meanwhile, I'm checking the lines and bilges.


We took a business trip to Kitakyushu & Shimonoseki.
Testing and writing a report on a new tourist travel voucher program.


The fishmarket in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, is famous for fugu.
Aslo known as blow-fish.


The bridge connecting Kyushu to Honsho.
We drove across it and navigated under it a zillion times


But this time... A First.
We took the tunnel and walked from Honshu to Kyushu.
As you can see, it's confusing for Marijke. 


Guess,  what's this.......??

Yappari Kyushu, part 32

 


Ha, we had to celebrate something.
Best way to do is with some yummy sushi from our own Tatsuki


So Much to See. No rush, No Rush.


Right down town Fukuoka.



Magic Moment of the Day.


Park 'n Hike. Indeed it was again a magic day on those 2 mountains. And afterwards it was super nice to relax in Billie Bee Camperbus.


What a Charm. Where on earth will you find untouched items as seen in this picture?


Koyo at the carpark.


Autumn. We found a nice possy for the night, 5 minutes walk to the hotspring....
Bring it on.


Catching some of those autumn rays. Be there.
