I know, lots of people think this is so funny that we love Kabushima Island—the place that is covered with seagulls and …seagull droppings. Sounds a bit disgusting.
I really wanted to go to this place in June, when we were supposed to see something new—baby seagulls. By the way, baby seagulls are simply called chicks.
Nothing was different when we first approached the shrine but as we looked closer, we saw that lots of seagulls were sitting on the ground with fluffy brown balls next to them. We saw hundreds of them! Can you spot one on the picture below?
And here.
Seagulls were exceptionally feisty, protecting their chicks.
I tried to walk through the crowds of seagulls without being pecked.
Robert liked this “one legged” seagull.
Everything is green this time of the year. The hill is covered with rapeseed blossoms.
It looks like, as part of the reconstruction done after the tsunami, these new umbrella holders have been installed. A brilliant idea to install them horizontally so that the holders don’t get any rain inside.
And of course we had to drive a couple kilometers to Tanesashi coast and spend an hour or so climbing the rocks. Our friends, Millburns came with us.
Oh, how I will miss this wild beauty of the Northern Japanese Pacific coast.
Tanesashi coast it one of Katya’s favorite places in Northern Japan.
Alex—making me nervous by climbing way too far and high on his own.
Taking a break on a sandy patch by the water. No swimming here, that’s for sure.
On the way back from Tanesashi, we encountered this new view of Kabushima shrine.
Okay, Katya just came downstairs although she has been put to bed an hour ago. I better go take care of that:)
Sayonara.
