As you can tell I just love Japanese gardens.








Still some camellias flowering.








A butterfly fairly well disguised.

The last of the garden.
















Magnolia just starting to flower.

Leaving the villa and back to the port.
















But we are not at the port to go back to the ship. Along with our bus we are now onboard a Sakurajima ferry.

 

[drron]

A little noodle cafe onboard.


I went the full 1000 yen ($11) version and liked it.


Soon on our way.

 

[drron]

Off around to the other side of the mountain and the lava park.

 

[drron]

At the park several stalls with cheap souvenirs and various foods but mainly the small oranges grown on the island. But some interesting sweets.




And lots of lava.




A walk up to the viewing platform.

 

[drron]

A lava shelter.

 

[drron]

On the way back to the ferry.

 

[drron]

And Loquat trees with each individual loquat in a white paper bag.






Our ferry back.

Back to the Muse.


Showing a little bit of rust.






This was the first time Silversea has been at this dock so close to town. Normally further away but a Regent ship was there.
