Summer vacation - Rebun 8 hour walk - part 2

The blog entry a few days ago shows the first part of the 8 hour walk, the so called 4 hour walk. The rest of the 8 hour walk I did on the next day, cutting the 8 hours short to (theoretically) 5 hours, as I had to get from/to the bus stop.

The four pictures of the map show an overview of the tour, starting at the very top in the middle, where the toilet symol is shown. This is the bus stop. From there going in the direction of the P at the left top side but taking the black shortcut, that goes through the a of Nishikamidomari. Then following the red line all the way down below Sasadomari to the beach, where I met a bunch of boys, eating the sea urchins, they just got from the sea.
Then climbing over the rocks along the beach to Ueannai and from there in a steep climb up the hill and down on the other side to the P in the right bottom corner of the first map picture.
A wonderfull tour, very remote. Sometimes quite steep next to the path. I´m glad, it was not wet. I understood, why my host family was worried `you go alone?`. But they were OK, when they found out, that another group of 8 guys, staying over night at the same place, would do the full 8 hours tour. So they would find me, if something would go wrong (unless I would slide down one of the cliffs, off course).

This time not so many new flowers. More berries (see also separate blog post). And a lot of impressive landscape. First a lot of that low to high bamboo, that covers the ground here like grass in the Alps. Then going over into a forest, similar to the alps. Just some plants in between, that do not really fit.
And last the impressive cliffs, going down into the blue of the ocean. In between the path was very narrow and steep. At one place a rope helped a lot in the descend. At the end a nice slide down in the sand (you also could bypass it but you missed a lot of fun).

Now the pictures to all that text:
