I like Shikoku! It’s a shame I don’t get to see much of it recently! But today was a day off so after having a nice breakfast in the onsen it was a nice drive back to Ehime. On the way we stopped off at the Tokushima rope bridge. At first this seems quite like a normal Japanese tourist attraction, i.e. quite nice but rendered completely safe. This is reinforced by the steel cabling that has long since replaced the vine branches. But on getting on the bridge it’s not quite that straight forward as the gaps between the slats are bigger than your feet! The trick with bridges going across high places is to not look down, but here you have to make sure your feet don’t disappear down one of the holes!!!

Then I had a few hours in Ehime before catching a flight to Fukuoka, which takes an incredibly short 35 minutes!
