Lagos Travel—Experiencing Sunrise at Beach Estudantes

@TravelforLifeGuide

Lagos Roman Bridge (Portugese: Ponte pedestre românica de Lagos)


Beach Estudantes (Portugese: Praia dos Estudantes ⭐) is a beach near the Center of Lagos. Due to its location, it is a convenient beach to visit for a couple of hours. Beach Estudantes is a small cove accessible through a rock tunnel, with scenic cliffs and a modest sandy area for seating.  It is also known for its Roman style bridge right on the beach. 

On 01/09/2023, a cloudy to sunny day, I have accessed cove for a sunrise.  Boy, I was not disappointed on that day and had witnessed an amazing sunrise.

A Quiet Day in a Berlin Park, 1933 In the early 1930s, Takehisa Yumeji's studio became a hub for artists, inspiring ventures like the Mt. Haruna Art Research Institute. In 1931, Yumeji began a journey to the United States and Europe, supported by exhibitions of his work. While in the U.S. for 16 months, he continued to paint, creating pieces like Nude on the West Coast. Afterward, Yumeji taught in Berlin until the school was closed by the Nazis. He returned to Japan in 1933, his overseas experiences shaping his final works. His last exhibition was held in Taipei that year. Yumeji passed away from tuberculosis in 1934, leaving behind a legacy of beauty and cultural exchange.

This is a passageway leading to Nankai-Namba Station. Be aware that underground passages in Japan can be quite complex for visitors. When you arrive at Kansai International Airport (symbol: KIX) and try to reach your destinations via trains, sometimes you need to make connections at Namba Station (see Fig. 2). Namba Station is one of the main connection points (the other two are Umeda and Tennoji Stations). But, Namba Station actually means 4 different stations on Google map (see Fig. 3&4) : Namba Station  (Subway): This station provides access to the Osaka Metro lines: Midosuji (see Fig. 4),  Sennichimae , and  Yotsubashi . These lines can take you to popular destinations like Osaka Station, Koreatown, Honmachi, and Nippombashi. JR-Namba Station:  This smaller station has only four tracks and two platforms. It's located within the  Osaka City Air Terminal  (OCAT) building, and the entrance can be easy to miss. Thankfully, it's connected to the ...

A Unique Hiking Experience on Fudo-Zaka Slope (不動坂) in Koyasan (高野山)

Koyasan  (高野山), a popular pilgrimage destination for centuries, has been connected to the outside world by a network of pilgrimage trails. While most visitors enter the mountain by cable car nowadays, many of the pilgrimage trails still remain in use. Koyasan Travel—Temple Lodging (Shukubo; YouTube link ) Part of the pilgrimage trails, the Fudozaka Trail (不動坂; click the map to enlarge), leads to Koyasan from Gokurakubashi Station, the lower station of the Koyasan Cablecar. The steep, paved trail is 2.5 kilometers long and takes about an hour to ascend and less time to descend. The trail ends at the Nyonindo temple (女人堂). [1] On 11/27/2016, I have decided to descend from Fudozaka Trail instead of riding the cable car.  I was the only person on the trail at beginning.  However, in the middle of the trail, another young blonde girl passed me by swiftly with a big smile on her face.  I was really surprised to see another soul on that rainy day.  Althoug...
