Shimoda - day 2

On the second day we explored the Izu Peninsula. It was exotic and beautiful. Lots of coves, bays, beautiful islands and rocks jutting out. Our highlight on this day was a walk to a lighthouse. It was just so nice to be as a family, enjoying the nature, and doing things at our pace.

lots of aloes growing here - just like in SA at JBay

Josephine found herself a dried palm tree branch which worked well as a broom

Josephine loves climbing. Any challege (except walking!!) is up her street.

Spot Fuji-san again? It "floats" on the clouds! Breathtaking!
