Thoughts beyond my life & my travel - Bel

I did not mean to wake up early but I was awake early morning when I saw the bright light through the window. It seemed to be a sunny day and it was 5:10am in the morning. Since it didn't look foggy at all, so I stayed awake to wait for sunrise. Isn't it cool that you can sit comfortably in a hotel room, watching sunrise?  I remember I had to wake up at 4:30am and rode up the mountains for 20 minutes before going to a spot waiting for sunrise in Nepal. And there was no guarantee on whether you could see the sun rising at all.  The sun not only gives one a warm feeling but a happy feeling. How exciting to see the sun going up right outside the big window. The scenery was changing every single minute.  Before breakfast, I also had a morning stroll around the mountain area. I wish I had more time to do a hike before leaving since the weather was just perfect and the scenery is divine.  We made use of the good weather to enjoy nat...

We planned the itinerary for the next day but the heavy rain just ruined our well-thought plan. We hoped to see the lake, drive to the southernmost cape of the Satsuma peninsula, or try the hot spring next to the ocean. These all just didn't happen as the rain was non stop, so our strategy was to stay dry in indoors' museums. I have to mention that it is a lovely gesture that many hotels in Kagoshima Prefecture have spare umbrellas for guests' use. Alright, the mountain was so foggy. We could hardly see the roads along the mountains. Thanks to my friend's good driving skill, we could still drive around the windy mountain roads and go to several tourist spots. Before we explored the area, we found a light therapy spot in the hotel which is set up by the cancer research centre. You simply lie on the ground in an enclosed "cage". Lights of different colours come in all directions and in different forms around the cage. Close your eyes and feel it for ...

I heard a lot about Kagoshima from my friend. It's a small city where you can walk around, shop, eat and enjoy for a short vacation. One day I found a special offer on a direct flight from Hong Kong to Kagoshima, so I booked the tickets immediately without a second thought. Hardly you can find any detailed English travel information about Ibusuki and Kagoshima apart from the official website, so here I shared my journey with you, and hope it can inspire more foreign tourists to appreciate the beautiful nature of Ibusuki. Day 1 Despite the heavy rain in Hong Kong, the flight could take off with a short delay. It was a small plane, housing 180 passengers, but the flight was not smooth due to unstable air and inclement weather. I later learnt that a flight from Hong Kong to Tokyo was cancelled on the day, so I felt I was being blessed that the small plane could land on Japan and enable me to meet my friend from Tokyo. It was a sunny day in Kagoshima and a lovely drive from ...
