Trip
to Matsushima!
- September 23 (2002), Miyagi Prefecture

 |
| In yet another picture, I am refusing to stare out at Matsushima, believing it will finally make me as insane as Basho. | Godai-do, by the way, is only open once every 33 years, the next time being in 2006. That is interesting. Less known, however, is that the temple would make for a great barbeque. |
 |
 |
| A view to the sea from Godai-do. Rather nicely taken, if I may say so myself. | Okay, finally we are at the red bridge leading onto Fukuura-jima. Between 8.30 am and 5 pm, there is a charge of 200 yen to enter the island. |
 |
 |
| Yuka appears in yet another magnificent picture. Any buyers? | Okay, guess what this is? Answer: Another picture of Jan on a bridge |
 |
 |
| By having my picture taken later in the evening, with a view from Fukuura-jima, I scientifically proved that it becomes harder to take good pictures at night. | Again, this picture of Yuka proves that one can not see anything of the beautiful view that is meant to exist behind her. |
 |
| Finally, another picture of Jan and Matsushima ends this phenomenally boring picture series. Is it worth going there? Well, for a couple of hours, perhaps, but only if you receive a free ticket! |
