 the Trev Report for 2006-05-30
We left the apartment early to catch the "bus" to the largest of the Dozen islands, Nishinoshima.
The most breathtaking feature of the coastline is a natural rock bridge going out to the sea called Tsutenkyo, or the "bridge to heaven." The reason we went though is to see the wild horses.
This being a main attraction for tourists, the wild beasts have grown very accustomed to human companionship and do not flee, even when a person is right next to them.
