Back to Beppu

A week or so after my first trip to Beppu, I went back. Why? Mostly, because of these lovely ladies:

They wanted to go, and I wanted to hang out with them. Plus there was the Safari Park that I hadn't seen yet. So the three of them, plus Ela and I rented a van and headed out. It was a Japanese Holiday, so things were super crowded, but we had a good time at the aquarium again, and we visited a few of the hells as well. That's where we met this guy, who apparently only comes out on special occasions.

We spent the night at a lovely hotel, and then stopped at the Safari Park on the way home. At this zoo, the animals run free and the humans are in cages. They split the park into various areas so that they don't eat each other, and people can either take a bus or drive through and look at them all.

We were planning to take the bus, but they were all sold out, so we took our rental van through. It was quite fun to see all the animals walking around free (and being fed by the people in the buses). It was also a little scary because of all the warnings to not open any doors or windows (after all, the lions are wild).

So it was a fun little trip. Things are getting super busy here. More to come later...
