Cape Manzamo

After our slightly disappointing trip to Kenmin-no-Mori, we headed South on 58 to go back home.  I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to go to Cape Manzamo when I saw a sign for it.  It's one of those places on the island that you hear how awesome it is and see all these beautiful pictures of it, so I'd been meaning to go there for a while.

We pulled into the parking lot to find it flanked by two long tents full of shops selling clothing and trinkets.  There was even a little stand selling those Japanese street balls that are kinda like giant flavored donuts only not as sweet.  We bought some and the gentleman running it gave O a pretty hibiscus flower clip for her hair since it was hanging in her eyes.  We thanked him and continued on our way to the Cape.

We only stayed long enough to go around the top circular path.  O was more excited about her donuts than the view.  Once she got one in her stomach though, she was everywhere pointing and laughing like she does when she's excited.

She really enjoyed watching the waves crash against the elephant shaped cliff side and then playing with the rocks at the other end of the cape.  Leave it to a toddler to spend 20 minutes lining rocks up in a row and then throwing them into the ocean for fun.  Can't say I didn't enjoy it myself, I just wouldn't have thought to do it anymore.

We both would've liked to explore some more, but O was getting a nice sun burn and I wanted to get her inside.  Too bad, we'll just have to go back to see some more of the terrain and check out the shops.
