A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 63, Obama to Nagasaki
Fri Feb 21st 2014
The Sun may or may non last upward equally I caput out of Obama as well as receive got the route northward along the coast of Tachibana Bay. Looming over the town the massive Mount Unzen blocks whatever sentiment of the Sun until subsequently inwards the morning. Looking back, plumes of steam rising from amidst the buildings, a signature of an onsen town.
Tachibana Bay is calm as well as a picayune darker shade of bluish than the sky. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 sparse business of fifty-fifty darker bluish shows the far shore dividing the 2 expanses of blue. After one-half an hr I am able to veer off the principal route as well as receive got route 210 which was 1 time a railway line. I come upward to a fork but exterior the offset angling village. My map says to receive got the correct fork which starts to rise. My natural inclination is to receive got the lower route that volition hug the coast, but I defer to my map.
The route climbs gently as well as gives a overnice overview over the hamlet below as well as and therefore passes through a narrow tunnel amongst the distinctive horseshoe shape of a railway tunnel. Coming out of the tunnel I come upward upon what I presume to last a local TV station making a go program.
An older human as well as a younger adult woman are both dressed inwards khaki shorts as well as wearing pith helmets. I resist the urge to holler out "Doctor Livingstone I presume!" With alone a cameraman as well as a audio human equally crew I am presuming they are a depression budget local TV present something along the lines of "Lets Explore Locally," because the side yesteryear side department of the route is a youngster tourist attraction known equally the Green Tunnel.
The road, formerly the railway track, passes through a narrow cutting as well as the trees growing higher upward receive got spread their canopy over the narrow cutting thereby creating a “green tunnel”. The route curves but about the mountainside passing through several to a greater extent than tunnels. At several points in that place are corking views downward onto angling villages below as well as along the approaching northward shore of the bay.
The route starts to descend equally tardily equally it ascended as well as I halt upward inwards Chijiwa where the principal route right away heads westward towards Nagasaki. I detect a convenience store to stock upward at as well as sit down amongst a java as well as cheque my maps. I desire to avoid the principal route if I can. I detect a coast route that literally runs betwixt the cliffs as well as the sea. Perfect. There is no traffic salve for the occasional k-truck. The route comes to an halt at a small-scale onsen located correct on the beach. From hither in that place is no piece of cake agency along the coast therefore I caput inland as well as bring together upward amongst the principal route heading to Nagasaki.
The route is fairly busy as well as at offset in that place is a sidewalk, but equally it leaves the hamlet the sidewalk ends but starts 1 time to a greater extent than at the side yesteryear side village. The route is windy as well as goes upward as well as down, though never steeply, as well as because of this the sentiment changes often. I am surprised yesteryear the issue of love hotels around.
It is withal well-nigh thirty kilometers to Nagasaki, but it is well-nigh halfway betwixt Nagasaki as well as Isahaya, therefore peradventure they serve both populations. Its a fairly uneventful afternoon amongst a yoke of shrine visits, but equally the traffic increases closer to Nagasaki it becomes less enjoyable. By tardily afternoon I receive got covered thirty kilometers but in that place is withal to a greater extent than than 10 to larn out as well as I intend peradventure 40km is likewise much. In the summer, amongst the longish days, 40km is doable, but at this fourth dimension of the twelvemonth it is but likewise much therefore I cheque the timetable at the side yesteryear side motorcoach halt as well as finding a motorcoach imminent I arrive at upward one's heed to receive got it. Tomorrow I caput home. This leg has seen me embrace 190 kilometers, making a full of 1,710 kilometers inwards total.
