A Family Road Trip to Kyushu<\/h3>\n

We set off for Kyushu by ferry yesterday, with our Panamera Turbo along for the ride, of course.<\/p>\n

We were booked on the Meimon Taiyo Ferry, departing Osaka Nanko at 7:50 p.m. and arriving at Shinmoji Port at 8:30 a.m. The Panamera is over five meters long,<\/strong> so it falls into the under-six-meter passenger-car category.<\/strong> We booked a Deluxe Western-style room for two adults (our two children came along, but children under three travel free) with an online discount. The one-way fare came to \u00a545,850.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s almost the price of an adult ticket just to bring the Panamera along\u2026<\/p>\n

The ferry was due to depart at 7:50 p.m., but we\u2019d heard that vehicles could board well in advance, so we arrived at the Osaka Nanko Ferry Terminal around 6 p.m. Dozens of cars were already lined up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everyone had arrived early! We parked where we were directed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t board just yet, so we headed to the waiting room. It was already quite busy, with students from two different schools there on school trips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At around 6:30 p.m., we were finally allowed to board. A staff member guided us, and we followed their directions onto the ship.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ramp was steep, so it looked like a bit of a challenge for cars with low ground clearance. Here\u2019s a look inside the vehicle deck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were already some large trucks parked inside. The lanes were fairly narrow, so the Panamera\u2019s 360-degree camera came in handy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After we parked where we were told, a staff member asked, \u201cIs the alarm all right? Is it switched off?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, all good!\u201d<\/span> I replied. But the car\u2019s tilt sensor alarm went off anyway, so my husband had to go back and turn it off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Onboard Life and Arrival in Kyushu<\/h3>\n

Our cabin was spacious and clean. We\u2019d booked a Deluxe room, which was a little bigger than a standard single room at a business hotel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had dinner onboard, and lights-out was at 10:15 p.m. The ship rocked a little during the night, but I slept just fine. (Though, to be fair, nursing our 10-month-old and sharing a bed with our 3-year-old were the real challenges!)<\/span><\/p>\n

The next morning, we arrived at Shinmoji Port right on schedule.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some passengers were already lined up and waiting before we docked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We arrived at 8:30 a.m., but it took about 15 minutes before we were allowed to return to our car.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re driving as far as Amakusa, where we\u2019ll spend the night. I\u2019ll share more about the road trip in another post. For now, I\u2019m looking forward to a good night\u2019s sleep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Family Road Trip to Kyushu We set off for Kyushu by ferry yesterday, with our Panamera Turbo along for the ride, of course.
