17 April 2024 Fukuoka: Back from the Flower Island On a Ferry Boat

 


We drove the bikes back to the bike shed with some time still to spare.  We got ice cream cones and sat and waited for the ferry.  The seats were too uncomfortable so I took a bit of a stroll and saw a hotel off in the distance.  There was a big bunny sculpture so I walked over to see it when I saw an odd bit of filming.  Still unsure as to what it was. We got on the ferry and had to let two different ship pass in front of the ferry


There was a duck blind that we stopped at


A dozen or so birds were here


A northern Shoveler




We passed ponies as well


Thankfully this snack shop was closed!


But the soft serve ice cream shop was open


What might this be?


Oriental Greenfinch


A huge structure that had a cloth covering that kids could climb on


The ferry terminal


Big bunny by the hotel


Something odd is going on here...are they filming people in the shipping container?


An whimsical creature by the pool


Another fog has rolled in


Soon to be in motion


Traffic in the shipping lanes


Big ships get the right of way


The waves come next


Back on dry land


The breeze has picked up




It has been 1 year and 317 days since we began our Migration
