The North South Divide

This weekend some of the northern Fukui-ites headed down to the south of the prefecture, to check out the area, hook up with some friends and generally do some exploring. The southern area of Fukui is beautiful, - rugged coastline, lakes, forest, beaches and ocean. We saw several monkeys, loads of big birds of prey (eagles? kites?) and a lot of beer monsters. There was a good house party on the saturday night that ended with the police turning up, so we all hid. I wanted to get a photo of the police but was advised against it. No one was arrested.

We also went to the beach, watched the surfers, and played some frisbee. I hope to buy a surf board soon and try and catch a few waves myself.
