Iwai Peninsula / 岩井海岸

Last night, we had a hard time sleeping because of the noise some young guys were making in the floor above us.  Those guys wouldn't shut up and they were loud until three or four in the morning.  (I must be getting old that it bugged me because I'm sure I caused as much noise when I was there age hanging out with friends somewhere).  Anyway, I was refreshed and forgot about the noisy guys once I took my morning bath and enjoyed the ocean view from the 12th floor (oh, and I pretty much had the bath to myself at that time).  I decided to take a walk to the beach myself before having breakfast.

昨日は良く眠れませんでした。上の階の若い男軍団が朝３時か４時まで大騒ぎ、本当にうるさかった。（僕はもう年かな、こういう愚痴言っちゃって、自分もあの年なら自分の友達と同じくうるさかったんだろうな）。ま、朝風呂入って、１２階からオーシャンビューに癒され、うるさいやつらの事は吹っ飛んだ。朝食を食べる前に一人で海辺で散歩。

No, that is not the Bates Motel, it is the Condominium Hotel Iwai Grandview where we stayed.

奥にある建物が泊まった宿です。

Early morning fisherman / 漁師の朝も早いんですね

Fishermen / 漁師たち

Since we were at the beach in the off-season, there was nobody in the watchtower.

オッフシーゾンなので、監視塔には誰もいません。

Breakfast was buffet style / 朝食はバイキング

A little morning curry too / 朝カレーも最高

After breakfast and before heading off to our main objective, we stopped at the beach once again.

朝食を食べ終わって、チェックアウトし、旅のメインに行く前にビーチでちょこっと探索。

We saw quite a few of these guys on the beach / こういう姿の魚いっぱいありました

Now, off to our main objective - Nihonji.
