And so begins the seat of the pants 2 days undecided between and part of the adventure! Drizzly and miserable day so off to it is! Hey I get to go on a ferry ride! Not staying inside though - it's more fun out!

Inside the Kumamoto ferry port terminal with ticket counter to the left
View from the back of the inside seating area of the ferry with many rows of empty seats and a few heads among them
Grey cloudy skies and grey water and many seagulls flying close by and a seagull snatching a fried potato stick from fingers on an outstretched hand
