Random kindness of strangers

Box of fresh vegies from the garden of a sweet local sushi shop owner. He has taken a shine to us after we helped him yesterday as he was trying to deliver sashimi to some people in the camping area. He couldnt find them so we scored the order of fresh squid, yellowtail and beer. He visted again later last night with more beer then this morning with the vegies and local sake. This further confirms my belief that a little kindness and a smile to a person in need is often repaid ten-fold. In this case a hundred-fold.

LAND AHOY!

Friday, April 29, 2005

First port of call Ooshima island - 6AM. We spent the night sleeping on an open and windy deck in our sleeping bags. I slept surprisingly well.

Camping at Niijima Island!

I seem to have packed everything I own and attempting to carry it on my back! Dad had to help me put it on at home. Now just have to make the boat.

Empty streets in Shibuya! WTF?

1.45AM just when I am trying to get home there are no taxis for miles. Waited for 30 mins! Serves me right for going out the night before a national holiday. /rant
