World Tour 2 - Leg 56 - Kitakyushu to Iwakuni

This leg is relatively short compared with the previous one. I continue carrying the cargo to Osaka, together with 4 passengers that are visiting the region. My next stop will be Iwakuni, near Hiroshima. I take off from Kitakyushu between clouds, although it's easy to fly low and follow the coast.

Beautiful landscape, and cities. After flying a bit over Japan one realises that every flat area is populated. Only the hills are free from villages or houses. And industry everywhere. After few more minutes, I reach my destination.

The next leg will be a bit longer, heading finally to Osaka.
