We had our sumptuous breakfast at 7a.m. in the Grand Hall of Beppu Wan Royal Hotel. There are many varieties of choices such as Western style for those who are not used to eating Japanese food.
We then set off to take the ferry. We had to travel by bus for 2 hours before we board the ferry. During the ride, all of us fell asleep as the journey was long.
There was then a stop for a toilet break. Many of us bought drinks, snacks and sweets.
While we were waiting for the bus, we were people watching. There were "security guards" taking the number of people that arrived at the stop. Some of us went to the toilet where others were standing outside the toilet enjoying the scenery. We also realised that there weren't many dustbins around. Recycling bins were arund also! This shows to us that the Japanese are very tidy and environmental friendly.
We boarded the bus and continued the ride.
After some time, we arrived at the ferry terminal. We watched a video on volcano, Sakurajima island. The video showed us how the eruption was like and what happened after. We toured around the visitors center and took photos outside. Then we went to board the ferry and proceeded for our lunch!
After lunch we went to take the bullet train! We had to board the train with two tickets! The people queueing for the bullet train was very orgaised. The train ride was super fast! We couldn't see the scenery as everything was zooming by. Japanese people are so polite that they will leave the train's cabin just to answer the phone!
After the bullet train, we had an hour drive to have our dinner and then back to the hotel.
