There is a pattern to living in the camper – up earlyish, breakfast & onsen followed by whatever else we want to do in the day and then, if we are on back to back camper nights, what are we going to have for dinner and where are we going to park for the night.…
Still no sign of Typhoon Hagibis as we woke to bright blue sky and sunshine again. Robert got his wish and had an early morning swim and I got mine, managing to identify a hot can of coffee in the vending machine (third attempt). The timetable for the day is currently shower, breakfast, shrine, lunch…
As the Smallest Boy would say “I can’t tell a lie” we were a bit worried about the possibility of a night in the camper van as Typhoon Hagibis blew through. Although it is not a lightweight vehicle and neither are we, it still seemed a little flimsy in the face of 100mph+ winds and…

We woke to bright blue sky and sunshine and, as there was no point in continuing on to Mount Aso, we decided to retrace our steps and have a look at the view from the Daikanbou Observatory, which we had apparently driven past the day before but due to the low cloud, rain & wind…
I know it’s hard to believe, but Robert, the man who hates shopping with a passion, spent an entire day very happily in a shopping mall. There is method in this madness, as it was a huge and very beautiful edifice, that just so happened to be right next door to the Oita Dome, thus…
Japan is full of lovely quirky little statues and pictures so, when you least expect it, you look up or round to find you’re being watched.
We had a couple of days between NZ V Canada and Australia v Uruguay, so we decided to head into the middle of Kyushu and go and see Mount Aso, a live volcano in the flesh so to speak. The problem with real life is that it doesn’t always play ball and so after we’d…
