Trip to Kozushima

A few friends, myself and Mayumi and a group of 60 or so people went on a trip to some nearby islands off southeast of Tokyo. 

 
  Setting off on the ferry from Tokyo. Our American friends Mike on the left.


It was very hot so we stayed on deck. The trip would take about 9 hours! 
  
Setting up our fabulous sleeping area!

Someone in the group brought along a massive set of speakers equipped with a lightball! The partying continued well into the early hours! 

  
My English friend Cal’s impressive beer staff!
  

Waking up at the crack of dawn with fairly unpleasant hangovers!
  
Arriving at the islands!  

  
Arriving in the blistering heat!

  

Setting up the tents at the camping site. Very nice location.

  
  

Playing some weird dice and coin game. Matt another English friend on the left.

  
Great view.

  

We went to a snorkelling area and had great fun checking out the numerous multicoloured fish and jumping off the platforms.

  
  
  
Mike is already starting to burn!   


Further out the water is quite choppy and it was very windy.
  
The water is very clear. We did a lot of snorkelling amongst the rocks.

  

Lovely colour to the water!
  
Pretty high up. Cal jumped off this later.
  

A few of the main jumping off points.

  
The bizarre bridge structures that covered this area.
  

Crazy hot on this beach. We played a lot of beach volleyball and got really burned.
  


Everyone mocking Mike and his horrific sunburn arm growth. I have a closer photo but it’s too revolting to upload! 

  

Leaving the island and the crystal waters behind!

  
Sad to leave.

Cal using my pot noodles as a pillow!  

Such comfort! 

  

 Playing poker on the way back!
