Natural Wonder Island Sarushima
Let's go together to round an island!
I love Engrish. But what am I saying it's waaaaaaaaaaaaay better then my Japanglish.
We finally went and checked it out....what the locals call 'Monkey Island.' We've only been starring at it from our window for over a year. Please tell me we're not the only people out there that will travel an hour or two in either direction (or around the world) but completely ignore our own backyard.
Waiting for the ferry. It smelled like fish and beer.
It was worth the trip the kids had tons of fun. My children seem to understand the meaning of 'enjoy the journey'.
Getting there is always half the fun! (At least is Japan because it's walk, train or ferry. If their trapped in a car, not so much)
We discovered what Monkey Island is really about. It's a Saturday/Sunday afternoon location for groups to arrive via ferry with at least two coolers in tow. One with the meat and one with the beer. There is a rental shack that rents all you'll need to start the beach front grillin' fun. It was kind of funny really because hardly anyone gets in the water, so I guess it's about enjoying the view (and the beer). (Actually a beach picnic could be pretty fun........but this place was PACKED, standing room only)
I'd guess only about 20% of the people that arrive actually go and hike around the island. Which is beautiful. It has the remnants of a World War II fort with all the towers and tunnels.
Down some super steep stairs we found amazing tide pools full of little crabs.
After some hiking and a break for ice cream we hit the beach! Lillian and Max rushed the water but Tobias held back.........the whole time.
He just kind of drew this little line in the sand and stayed put. His little face had a 'Why are we still standing here?....Is this suppose to be fun?....cause it's not' look.
He's not a fan of the water.
We collected about 25 pounds of seashells instead! Now my living room is overflowing with Monkey Island treasure.
