Day 7 - Yakushima

We are wiped. We are at Yakiushima Island. Tours are of forest and birdlife and we decide to take the day off.

CJ has been having a problem with a finger for about six weeks. It stiffens, recovers, and stiffens again. Today it is swollen and very stiff. We see the doctor. Here he is icing it before compression wrapping.

Carol tells someone in the staff that we are celebrating our anniversary. This is a belated anniversary trip since CJ was skiing on our 41st anniversary in August.

She tells them the wrong number. She says 47. Our bed gets decorated.

At dinner they serve a cake to the table.

Returning from dinner there is a new gift in the room. It is a puzzle. What do they serve with a hammer? We touch it and it is soft. It is shaped like the ship's igloo. Eventual we resolve to smash it.

Inside we find small treats. Better yet the cover is edible and delicious and it is covered with little triangles with Japanese writing of white chocolate.
