Strait from Shimonoseki

It's going to be ANOTHER short update - more to come when we're not on computers using Internet Explorer 6 or planning on going to sleep at 9:30.

Two days of hot, traffic-heavy riding (with an enchanting evening sandwiched in between, but that story shall be told later on) have found us in Shimonoseki, on the very tip of Honshu. Tomorrow we strike out for Kyushu, the southern-most of Japan's main islands, where I'm sure the temperatures will drop down to a reasonable level in short order.

Our plan as of now is to head for Kagoshima (where we should arrive in 4 days), take a break, and then head for Cape Sata - Japan's most southerly point (of the main islands anyway).

Then we head back North and East, ride the southern coast of Shikoku along the Pacific Ocean, and then attempt to catch an 18-hr ferry from Tokushima all the way back to Tokyo, which, if luck is with usm, will occur by the 17th or 18th.

Confused by all these place names? More google mapas will be posted! Like I said...IE6, sorry.

Will check in after a few days!
