Gorgeous, gorgeous Beppu city. I'll be leaving for Aso-san soon, I'm at the tourist information center. I've got the Osaka ferry thing worked out - it'll be a tad tight, but I'll be taking the Shinkanzen from Osaka at around 7am, and it takes about 2.5 hours to get to Tokyo, so I'll have plenty of time to get to Narita by noon.
A few funny things happened along the way, but the day is too nice to spend much time blogging here, and I have a train to catch!
