I woke up in the middle of the night. Thunders? Yes, and heavy rain! In the morning I noticed also strong wind. It was blowing till 1 am. At 3 pm I put my windbreaker on me and went for the walk. Soon the rain stopped and I had a chance to visit lokal cemetary on the slope. Interesting place. Rolf, the Jap-naturalized German who decided to spend his life here in 19th century is buried there. There is small but interesting museum in the village with his bust in the front.
Then I managed to climb Mt Shonensaki – the hill overlooking the village. At the upper part you have to use chains to climb safely to the top. There is a great view of the village, Oki port and Mt Chibusa. If the unpredictable weather will be good, tomorrow I want to climb this mountain – the highest in Ogasawara.
People are nice to me – I have been to the school to see how they teach here /luxury!/ and charming Asako from the shop promised me a loaf of bread for tomorrow… let’s hope…
