Emergency ■, left for Ogasawara!
The day of departure, we got up around 6 am, ready at 9:00 "Bamboo Grass" Got back. So you can secure a place better arrive early, I go more early, and when I got back there was another Oita.
Collect their boarding pass at the reception desk on board, to vote and fill out the people, When it finally aboard a ship in order. Basically, a place so fixed space, running a place, and will not be desperate, so steep stairs of the ship, slow rush, while caught in the handrails go.
For children, the liner 雑魚寝 are excited to say first. Yes, once in a while? You can do this 雑魚寝? I start without luxury. It's important to communicate with strangers. Only with valuables, when the sail on deck. Me a lot of people waving. After a while longer, the phone also 繋Garanaku.
Right, right. The connection is cellular at sea, in the Ogasawara Islands, docomo is in most parts, and also where the au s lead. My SoftBank has no base station was pretty useless. So before docomo cell phone rental service has been available. We made a waterproof phone just in case, just five days 10,000 yen (price varies with talk time) was.
Now, 25 hours is worrisome voyage, if the results say, your father is tired so I think I? Long before the holidays, I do not think dad very busy. Preparing to travel there, or working a job ahead of schedule during the holidays. Moving day is also carrying a heavy load early in the morning. I wore it again. Normally several hours later arrived at destination, it will start moving again, while not hectic.
しかし、小笠原の場合、船に乗ったら25時間は何もできないんです。そう、基本的にはネットにもつながりません。僕は持って行った本を読み、そしてあとはコンコンと眠り続けました。船は以前クジラとぶつかったため横揺れ防止機能が壊れていて、さらに波も激しくかなり揺れたそうです。酔い止めはもちろん飲んでいましたが、下の子どもは朝までに7回、上の子は朝になって3回ほど気分が悪くなり、もどしていたそうです。嫁さんも朝方に酔い止めが切れたのか、気分が悪くなったそうです。しかし僕は、その揺れをまるで“揺りかごみたい”と感じつつ、嫁さんや子どもからのひんしゅくの視線も感じないまま、深い深い眠りに落ちていました。もちろん、起きてから非難の嵐だったことは、言うまでもありません。
In addition, people were still around are very seasick. Adult children - regardless. Night long coughing violently, and the smell came into the sauce, because the environment around them 雑魚寝 was just luck.
Expires and seasick, seasickness is a good sign to appear. Since before the break, I should be taking firm. Since drugs are sold in the Ogasawara minutes of back I think I had better think about drinking.

予定より少し遅れて、船は父島に到着。まぶしい日差しが照りつけています。嫁さんと上のコは船酔いでグロッキー。朝方元気になった下のコと、まったく船酔いしなかった僕は元気いっぱい。嫁さんに至っては「もう船に乗って帰りたくない」と、帰りの心配をする始末。グロッキー状態の嫁さんを喫茶店で休ませ、僕と子ども2人はとりあえずお昼ご飯を食べに、港近くの、父島唯一の繁華街を歩きました。青い空に強い日差し、そして島特有の湿った空気は、東京をまったく感じさせないものでした。
Eat lunch, transfer to hotel by car. Although the website was looking surprised at the hotel is beautiful than I expected. This fact, Chichi is the only hotel that is right Stay was also the emperor and empress.
しかしまぁ子どもにとってそんなことは関係なく、ホテルの前に広がるエメラルドグリーンの海に心を奪われっぱなし。チェックインを済ませたらすぐに水着に着替えて、いざ海へ! そうそう、岩場の近くに魚がたくさんいると教えてもらったのですが、岩場の岩はかなり鋭く尖っています。波に体を持って行かれて岩に当たると大変なので、あまり近づかない方が賢明です。かく言う僕は岩に近づき波にさらわれ、ケガを覚悟で足で岩を蹴って岩場から離れたら、足の裏を数カ所、思いっきり切ってしまいました。初日だというのに。みなさん気を付けてくださいね。シュノーケリングをするなら、手袋やブーツも必須です。
2時間ほど海で遊んでシャワーを浴び、夕食を済ませたら小笠原海洋センターで「海亀レクチャー」。ホテルからクルマで10分くらいのところにあります。実は父島は、日本で唯一海亀の捕食が許可されているところ。年間150頭ほどが、研究と食用にされているそうです。これはこの土地の文化を守る意味もあり、そう言えば、港の繁華街のレストランなどでも「ウミガメ」の文字をよく見かけました。おいしいのかな? 小笠原海洋センターでは、ウミガメを食用としていることやウミガメの生態、そして保護活動を行っていることなどを説明してくれました。子どもにとっては少し難しい内容もありましたが、充分楽しめると思います。
And for the child (even for adults) or I wait, the child appeared turtle. Styrofoam inside the case, the child is over one another turtle! Come on I is not cute at all fine. This time, even when no turtles lay their eggs hatch well unfortunately. Received a very good opportunity.
That's it for the first day. I enjoy Ogasawara in earnest tomorrow!
