No more rain in the morning so I decided to go once again around the Chichjima expecting better light for the pictures from the well-known view points. I took a piblic bus for 200 y to the Kominato junction and then started to climb. I did it, but sorry – no sun today.
Back in Oshima I visited a shinto religion temple on the hill and then it was the time to pack up and go to the pier where Ogsawara Maru was waiting. Saying goodbye to all friends I boarded again the ship as the only westerner…
Departure was very spectacular: they were drumming and waving flags. The cavacade of 7-8 motorboats on the full speed accompanied the ship to the open sea. And kamikadze-divers were jumping from this boats to the see – still waving their hands.
Bye-bye beautiful islands of Ogawawara!
