Day 4 - Geography Lesson

The Riverlites woke up early and set off to Mount Uzenzake (Volcano) to learn about what an volcanic eruption is like and what devastation it can cause.

After which, they had lunch and proceeded to the ferry terminal and departed for Kobe. The ferry ride was a comfortable one as there were rooms provided for the Riverlites and they had fun taking pictures on the deck of the ship. They also had an opportunity to try out the Ofuro (public bath) on board.

The entry has to be kept short as it is difficult to obtain internet facility in Awaji Island.
