I love the views from my bus window!


Parasailing . . .


Rip-rap & seawalls to protect the landscape from the open sea.


Yikes! Looking straight down from my bus window. This road is narrow & we're right on the edge!


Terraced shoreline - a manmade beach area.


Perfect straight rows of . . . hmm, not sure, but this is beautiful farmland after we leave the beach & drive inland toward Kumamoto.


And we're finally in Kumamoto City!


In our hotel, Stan is looking down at our tour bus parked on the street - temporarily - just long enough to unload passengers & our bags. Don't know where he parked but we never saw the bus again until it was time to leave to go home.


Walking from our hotel toward the covered shopping street, we pass this beautiful park.

And looking back toward our hotel, I remember the giant Coke sign. Great landmark . . .
