This island houses a mountain that is rather high. YES RATHER HIGH. I warned you. Do NOT rent a bicycle; you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT ride it up to the top, you may be able to drag it up and then ride it on your way down, but the scenery is great so you might as well enjoy your walk if you are a tourist(and went through all the trouble to come here AND climb the mountain).

After satisfied with the locality, we saw a local father and a son fishing, catching a snapper (about 50cm). They were over the moon and so was I as I love fishing. (I was extremely jealous). 地元の雰囲気を楽しんだ後、港に戻ると親子が釣りをしていて、なんと!鯛 (50cm級)を釣っているところを見てしまう。親子、私たち共々興奮しまくり。もー最高の気分!!!
