Shikoku Ferry
We arrived at the ferry terminal about 2:30pm, thinking we'd get on the 3 or 4pm ferry, but apparently they're fully booked for motorbikes and bicycles and we have to wait for the 5pm ferry as we didn't reserve in advance. It's lucky it's a nice day as apparently we have to wait with our bikes or we may lose our place (despite having bought tickets at the office!).
Update: 1 bike can go on the 4pm ferry. I am being sent ahead as I had got the impression Suchern was not happy waiting 🫣

Japanese Sea Fig Trees
Or Akoh tree. This one was designated a national natural monument in 1921!

Moon beach campsite
We both made it to the free campsite near the ferry terminal. Mostly it's closed until summer, but fortunately they leave the disabled toilet open and supplied. Suchern had to pitch her tent in the dark (again!).
