Ninoshima Island

Today a few friends and I went to Ninoshima Island which is just a short 30 minute ferry ride from Hiroshima Port. We really did not know what to expect since we just randomly picked it from a list of things to do around Hiroshima. The day started out good, we did take the right street car to the port (all right!!!) and managed to find the right ferry to the island. Once we got to the island we "borrowed" some bikes we just happened to "find" next to the ferry port. We figured it would be fine since a crazy lady told us that we could use them (at least that's what we could figure out she was saying, it could have been don't touch these but we will never know). To the right is a picture of all the "culprits" in this situation (sometimes it's good to be the one always taking the pictures).
Once we figured out the old bikes we decided to go around the island and check it out. The road that cirlced the island was right next to the coast. The views were really great which you can see from the picture on the left. It was quite peaceful and fun just ridding around in our bikes.
We did get to see some typical rural architecture which we never see in the city, as you can see from the picture on the right. The island itself was very scenic but there werent any people around so my friend named it "Zombie Island". This is my second attempt at an artsy picture, last time I got 1 good comment so let's see if I improve.
