Mar 16, 2008 - Kagoshima, Japan

Trivia Question… Naples Italy has a sister city… can you name it? If you said Kagoshima, Japan- you are correct! The reason they are sister cities… both have active volcanoes (Naples has Vesuvius/ Kagoshima has Mt. Sakurajima). The really neat thing about an active volcano is that you can see from far away, so you don’t need to take time to go to where it is… there was a big busload of people from the ship that evidently didn’t know that.

Just one unexpected failure was bike lock that broke.

Nous avons été un peu déçus, car le volcan ne s'est pas complètement dévoilé, à cause de la pluie, et en plus, il y a quand même moins de linge à sécher en travers des rues et moins d'ambiance de façon générale à Kagoshima qu'à Naples...
