Une phrase, une disgression (typique) : qui sont ces gens qui signent en ÉNORME sur leur taf et pourquoi ??? Autant je trouve ça important de doter ses créations d'un contexte, de là à ce que celui-ci nous saute à la figure… Caché dans l'image, sous le passe-partout ou carrément au dos sont toutes des options valables à mes yeux. Bloguer, ou même poster en ligne, m'a également donné envie de développer une autre forme de signature, et c'est heureux car même dans sa plus profonde léthargie, des dates-clés m'ont toujours attendu au tournant pour me raccrocher à ce petit wagonnet à l'abandon, au point que même quand je n'ai vraiment aucune motivation pour écrire, je ne les laisse filer qu'avec regret. TANT MIEUX. J'ai fait vœu de maintenir cet espace jusqu'à la prochaine méga tempête solaire, alors il est temps de se retrousser les manches jusqu'à au moins 2017 (Digression numéro 2 : si la période actuelle vous angoisse et que la possibilité de remonter le temps de quelques mois vous tente, <a href="https://www.gog.com/game/blade_runner" hreflang="en" title="le jeu Blade Runner enfin disponible sur Good Old Games (GOG.com)">j'ai exactement ce qu'il vous faut</a>, mais à vous de voir si c'était vraiment mieux avant)<sup>[<a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/oskurlafaktur-part-vi-everyone#pnote-586-1" id="rev-pnote-586-1">1</a>]</sup>.</p>
<p lang="en">On behalf of my artistic practice, I've paid attention to the notion of signature quite early on, and follow the same rituals ever since my teens. Unavoidable digression: who are those people with GIANT signatures on the front of their work and why??? While I deem it quite important to provide context to your creations, there's no need for it to be on the frontline, whether that's a big scribble or your gilded embossed megagiant flourished monogram for that matter. I'm equally fine with visually hiding such things in the picture, loosing them underneath the frame mat or just having them on the back. End of digression. What I meant was that even blogging has had me develop a signature of sorts, which has nothing to do with style, but rather with the frequency of my posts. An uninteresting detail to the overlooker but to me, it has been invaluable in providing a few milestones I'm loath to miss, or at the very least never doing so without a little dose of regret. But that's a good thing! I've done too many abandoned blog urbex to not have vowed to not be that person. Let's rewind back to 2017 (Digression n°2: for those of you distressed by the current times, <a href="https://www.gog.com/game/blade_runner" hreflang="en" title="Blade Runner 1997 Westwood Studios game finally available on Good Old Games (GOG.com)">I've found a way to time travel to just a few months back</a>, however I cannot guarantee that those were rosier times)<sup>[<a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/oskurlafaktur-part-vi-everyone#pnote-586-1" id="rev-pnote-586-1">1</a>]</sup>.</p>
<p>Ce post sera assez long donc j'ai prévu des liens rapides pour ses diverses parties, si vous souhaitez en couper la lecture. Pour ma part, je ne souhaite pas faire durer cette série plus longtemps car il y a des limites au nombre d'années qu'une série de posts <em>d'un seul voyage</em> devrait passer dans la pile des choses <em>en cours</em>, n'est-ce-pas. Et clairement elle a été passée <em>il y a un bout de temps</em>.</p>
<p lang="en">This post is quite the lengthy one, so I've planned a few quick links to its various parts to be read in multiple installments if you feel like it. As far as I'm concerned, this serie has overspent its time by *several months* to still be on the current post list for *just the one trip*, so I've bundled up all I could in this one finale.</p>

<p>Il est temps d'aborder une sortie de route moins dramatique que la première. Il est rare que l'Islande offre une route transversale accessible au grand public, la route circulaire qui ceint l'île étant généralement la plus effective pour se déplacer sur de longues distances. Néanmoins une fois arrivés complètement à l'est, notre prochaine étape se situait pour une fois dans les terres, aller se fondre dans les nuages de touris-- de moucherons de Mývatn. Nous avons donc bifurqué vers le nord-ouest rejoindre nos nouveaux quartiers à 300€ la nuit ou quelque chose dans le genre, dans la plus pure tradition islandaise.</p>
<p lang="en">Time to dwelve into another escapade from the main road, though not as dramatic as— you know the one. There aren't so many crossroads in Iceland for the general public equipped with normal cars, as usually the circular road on the coasts of the country is the fastest option available for long distances. Yet once we reached the (central point of the) far east, the next stop was for once a lake region in the back country, where we were to join the swarms of touris-- of midges of Mývatn. So we turned north-west, soon reaching our next lodgings at probably 300€ a night or something in what is alas typical icelandic style.</p>

<p>La curiosité locale, ce sont les dimmuborgirs, ces immenses formations de lave. En 2017, elles avaient encore cette aura unique associée au phénomène Game of Thrones, ce que l'on pourrait comparer à la sensation de visiter Hyst-- Wysteria Lane en pleine folie Desperate Housewives.</p>
<p lang="en">The main local attraction are the dimmuborgirs, those weird and tall lava miniature mountains.

<h2>Fin</h2>
<p>Je dois avouer que ces temps-ci, se mettre à ce billet a été encore plus difficile du fait que j'ai UN NOUVEL ORDI depuis février et suis tombée dans une spirale infernale de jeux vidéo (alors certes, je dis ça alors que j'écris ce post depuis l'ancien mac avec en arrière-plan le Samorost 2 de 2005 en Flash sur Safari, mais eh, on n'est pas à une contradiction près). Mais bon sang ! Ces personnages aux trajectoires de déplacement parfaites ! Ces écrans de chargement qui prennent des secondes au lieu de minutes ! Je rattrape en quelques semaines une <em>décennie</em> de bugs et de ralentissements extrêmes (cela fait plusieurs années que je suis en dessous des specs minimum pour les jeux récents, <em>et ça se paie</em>). La migration n'est pas totalement achevée notamment car j'ai moitié moins de place sur le disque, un problème auquel je compte bien remédier parce que c'est hors de question de revenir à l'époque minable où j'externalisais une partie de mes fichiers. Et je rachèterais un chargeur au type sur le Bon Coin qui les répare et les renforce bien comme il faut, parce que j'aurais voulu connaître ce hack de vie avant.</p>
<p>Je ne dis pas que je n'ai pas repris l'illustration, loin de là, mais ce que j'ai laissé en plan l'année dernière, entamé ou non, était tellement… embourbé. Regrets IV : avoir tenté de renouer avec le grand format alors que mon bureau est plus petit et plus encombré que jamais, mon dos ne me remercie pas.</p>
<p lang="en">To be honest, writing blog posts hasn't been very high on my priority list since february, because that's when I got myself A NEW LAPTOP which has apparently set free my ever strong gaming dispositions (I'm still writing this post from the old compie with Samorost 2, a browser flash game from 2005 playing in the background but oh well). No but think of it! Characters running smoothly! Loading screens that take seconds not minutes! It's a whole new world so cut me some slack, I have a decade of bug and lag to make up for (I've been playing under the minimal specs for years now with some games, and while it's doable, the price is high mind you). Migrating from one system to another is going to require some additional steps though — I have only half my former disk space and since I'm not going back to external drives ever, and found I couldn't just swap them between my two laptops I believe some shopping is in order. Also I think I'm going to get another, sturdier charger from a guy I found who repairs and reinforce them properly, a life hack I wish I'd known sooner.</p>
<p lang="en">Now I'm not saying I gave up on illustration, far from it, but what I left behind me last year was really messy so progress is extra slow. Regrets IV: attempting to get back to large pieces when my small home work desk is not up to the task, doesn't do much good for my back.</p>

</figure> <p>Après un évènement si marquant tel que celui décrit dans <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/oskurlafaktur-part-iv-the-lakagigar-situation">le dernier récit que j'ai consacré à l'Islande</a>, il y a presque un an maintenant, j'ai longtemps caressé l'idée de boucler ce voyage en un ultime billet, mais bien sûr, avec près d'une semaine restante de photos, la réalité m'a ratrappée, d'autant plus que pour une pressante question d'espace disponible sur mon bon vieux macbook, je n'ai pas eu d'autre choix que celui de m'occuper en priorité des photos des voyages suivants car prises avec un nouvel appareil photo générant des fichiers RAW carrément plus lourds que les anciens. Récap de la saison précédente : nous faisions du camping sur un rond-point dans une zone industrielle de Reykjavik après un accident de voiture se chiffrant à environ cinq ans de mes revenus (deux états de fait lamentables se cachent dans cette seule phrase : saurez-vous les retrouver ?).</p>
<p lang="en">After such a memorable moment as was described in <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/oskurlafaktur-part-iv-the-lakagigar-situation">my latest blog post on the subject</a>, nearly a year ago, I entertained some hopes that I could get to a closure with the travel logs in one last round, however, with about a week more of adventures and tons of photographs, I've come to terms with the fact that it is preposterous at best. To further delay matters, I also figured out I'd better make the subsequent travels photos top priority as my new camera is creating RAW files twice to thrice as heavy as my former Nikon and the space on my hard-drive is becoming scarce. Last season recap: we were setting camp on a traffic roundabout in an industrial zone after a car incident worth about five years of my income (two sad points were being made in the last sentence, can you spot them?).</p>

<p>Ce billet couvrira les 3 premiers jours du mois d'août, lorsque nous avons péniblement repris notre tour de l'île (et allez, 400 km à refaire dans l'autre sens). Et comme vous pourrez le constater, trois jours c'est déjà bien suffisant en Islande pour goûter à la fois la glace et le feu…</p>

<p>(…À moins que ?) / <span lang="en">(…Unless?)</span></p>
<p>Aujourd'hui, je vois bien que l'aspect irréel de ces clichés n'était pas qu'un effet secondaire de notre tourmente financière (ou de cette pellicule plus vieille que moi), et s'il ne fait aucun doute que la beauté glacée de ces icebergs n'allait certes pas nous sauver du <em>chill</em> ressenti depuis notre passage en caisse pour une caisse dans le passage, j'éprouve néanmoins un certain apaisement à enfin les partager, au bout de deux ans, dans le cadre que je leur réservais, et tant pis s'il s'agit en l'ocurrence des oubliettes de la blogosphère (l'ironie n'échappe pas à qui tint autrefois un blog parallèle intime au petit surnom de donjon), et si je laisse une fois de plus passer l'occasion de sauver mes comptes sur les réseaux sociaux du Néant qui les talonne. Le festoche de l'image c'est chez moi que ça se passe, <em>þitches</em>.</p>
<p lang="en">I now see very well how the unrealness of those moments captured in film wasn't only a result of our financial torment (to say nothing about this roll older than I), and while those freezing landscapes could do nothing to relieve us from the chilling aftermath of having been stripped bare by the car rental folks, my mind feels somehow alleviated from having at long least shared the (picture) load in the setting I always intended them for, in spite of the 2 years wait and in such a remote and desolate corner of the internets (the irony isn't lost to whom once used the affectionate nickname of dungeon for this blog's personal companion). I suspect my social media accounts are beyond saving anyway, so this is where *I* am happening now, <em>þitches</em>.</p>

<h2>Námafjall</h2>
<p>En terme de terrain volcanique, depuis 2013, je compare tout à Yellowstone (il faut dire que j'aime ma calamité géologique mâtinée de bisons des plaines et de pins foudroyés). Bien que ce site semble un exemplaire de démonstration à côté du fameux super-volcan, j'ai été émue de retrouver quelques textures familières, ce côté <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/yellowstone-s-den-or-life-in-the-woods-part-iv-old-faithful">croûte de pain</a> comme je l'appelais alors. Le soleil s'y fit attendre, mais à sa venue, quelle transfiguration !</p>
<p lang="en">When it comes to volcanic fields, ever since 2013 I compare everything to my beloved Yellowstone (I enjoy my geological disaster assorted with a couple prairie bisons and lightning-struck pines). Although this place seems indeed like a mock-up in size to the famous super-volcano, it was with great pleasure that I saw there some familiar textures, <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/yellowstone-s-den-or-life-in-the-woods-part-iv-old-faithful">bread crumbs</a> as I would call them back then. The sun took some time to join the party, but what a difference it made!</p>

<p lang="en">This blog post was originally published missing both a good chunk of formatting and the present english translation, but I had to hurry as I was leaving on the next Wednesday on the first stop of a long travel out of town, to fire porcelains before a Christmas market, the details of which can be found in the next post.</p>

<p>Il est très rare que je voyage sans tenir de journal de bord sur lequel je me repose ensuite pour tenir sur la durée une série de billets, et pourtant, c'est bien le cas de l'Islande, de sorte que faire ce post deux mois ou un an et demi après ne change pas grand chose à la teneur de mon récit. Mais il y a une journée, qui s'est étalée sur trois, qui fait exception, un petit carnet qui n'aura servi qu'à consigner cet unique épisode faute de temps pour continuer la suite, petite bulle temporelle qu'à l'instar de l'épisode post-Marvin du film <cite>Pulp Fiction</cite>, j'ai baptisé « The Lakagígar Situation ». Le tournant de juillet à août est depuis longtemps un pilier du calendrier, par ici. Ma foi, sur poupéegirl j'avais même une tenue pour ça. Cette année-là, le fameux 31 a commencé au milieu de la pampa islandaise, dans un bien-nommé refuge, par un coucher de soleil dont nous n'aurions jamais du être les témoins car à cette période de l'année il ne tombe qu'au milieu de la nuit.</p>
<p lang="en">Is it quite rare for me to travel abroad without keeping a diary I can rely upon later on when I'm writing a blog post serie. And yet, that did somehow happened with Iceland so it doesn't really matter whether I'm penning this two or sixteen months upon my return. However, there has been one very particular day, extending into the following two, which took me the remainder of our stay to relate in a tiny notebook leaving me no time for anything else really, a sort of a time bubble which I dubbed ‘The Lakagígar Situation’ after the <cite>Pulp Fiction</cite> movie post-Marvin sequence. The turning point between July and August has traditionally been an odd moment here, I even had a poupéegirl outfit for it, mind you. That year, the iconic 31th began in the icelandic bush, in a well-named refuge, under a setting sun we should never have witnessed as this time of the year it occurs in the middle of the night.</p> <h2>Dyrhólaey & Reynisfjar</h2>
<p>Mais revenons en arrière. Le 29 juillet, nous avions planté nos tentes dans le camping Þakgil dans la municipalité de Vík, au terme d'une haute lutte contre un petit chat bondissant et récidiviste avec ça. Le lendemain, au lieu de continuer directement vers l'Est, nous sommes revenus légèrement sur nos pas pour aller découvrir les falaises de Dyrhólaey connues pour ses nombreux oiseaux dont les emblématiques macareux, avant qu'elles ne soient envahies par d'autres sortes d'oiseaux.</p>
<p lang="en">But let's get back in time. At the end of july 29th we installed our tents in a campsite named Þakgil that can be found in the town of Vík, thus defeating a rather jumpy fool of a kitten, which tried and tried again to prevent the deed. Upon the next morning, instead of heading East, we went back on our tracks a little to do some bird-sighting, specifically puffins, at the site of Dyrhólaey before it gets crowded (by Non-Puffins).</p>

<h2>Lakagígar</h2>
<p>L'après-midi fut consacré à Lakagígar, région au caractère suffisamment exceptionnel pour que nous inscrivions ce « petit » crochet à notre parcours ordinairement cantonné à la route circulaire qui fait le tour de l'île, d'autant que cela avait l'air faisable lorsque nous consultions notre guide — nous avions déjà roulé sans problème sur des routes un peu nazes pour approcher l'Hekla.</p>
<p lang="en">The afternoon was dedicated to exploring Lakagígar, an area usually described as ‘exceptional’ which got our attention and seemed feasible enough as far as my guidebook was concerned so as to induce us to make a detour from the otherwise quite predictable circular road. We knew the road wouldn't be ideal but we had a taste of it when approaching the Hekla volcano and it promised to be just as manageable.</p>

<p>Voilà, voilà. L'Islande à son sommet. Quelle expérience hors de ce monde. Quelle séquence tout droit tirée d'un rêve *une bande originale d'un film bien dérangeant de Lynch commence à jouer dans le fond*. Euh… attends, attends, attends. Bien. Avant de continuer dans mon récit, j'aimerais prendre un moment pour revoir une dernière fois les macareux de cette matinée. Les rigolos, mignons petits macareux. Joie simple.</p>
<p lang="en">And there you have it. Peak Iceland. What an otherwordly experience. What a dream sequence *the soundtrack of a very disturbing Lynch movie quietly starts playing in the background*.

<p>Alors… que s'est-t'il passé entre ces deux images ? Une incroyable vidéo de 10 minutes enregistrée par accident, une rivière glacée et une voiture immobilisée en plein milieu (nous avions pourtant franchi plein de gués ce jour-là), des touristes qui filment, des français qui se mouillent littéralement la chemise pour nous aider et d'autres qui ont joué de leur jeep et de leurs sangles pour nous sortir de là.</p>
<p lang="en">So… what happened between these two pictures? An incredible 10-minutes-long video unintentionally recorded, an icy river and a car stuck right in the middle (please note that this was by no means our first crossing of the day), unhelpful tourists capturing the scene on their fucking phones, helpful fellow french such as that one who was unafraid to wet the shirt — literally — trying to push the car with us, or that group that managed to dislodge it from the river thanks to their massive jeep and the strong webbings they were carrying around.</p>
<p>Des bagages évacués, une voiture qui ne redémarre pas, ce qui s'expliquera plus tard par la foireuse combinaison d'un système électronique installé dans le plancher (les SUV, tout est dit) et d'un <a class="media-link" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/public/photos/voyages/islande2017/lakagigar3007/.autorentalcar3107-0108_021_l.jpg" title="Autorentalcar #021, 1 august 2017">trou béant</a> dans le chassis que nous avons immédiatement pu relier à un sale bruit de caillou entendu sur la route lors d'une accélération inattendue et pas franchement de bon aloi causée par le comportement du mode sport de cette bagnole.</p>
<p lang="en">Luggages removed, a car that won't start over as would be explained later by the terrible combination of an electronic system located in the floor (that's textbook unhelpful SUV for you) and a <a class="media-link" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/public/photos/voyages/islande2017/lakagigar3007/.autorentalcar3107-0108_021_l.jpg" title="Autorentalcar #021, 1 august 2017">massive hole</a> in the undercarriage which we instantly correlated with a very disturbing sound heard while driving as the sport mode of the car suddenly produced an ill-timed acceleration on a very rocky road.</p>
<p>Des rangers qui attendent avec nous, qui nous amènent à un refuge pour attendre le dépanneur, une équipe de scientifiques qui débarque dans le refuge, un dépanneur très gentil, aux cils trop longs et auquel la malbouffe fera sans doute du tort plus tard qui arrive à minuit passé, une galère pas possible pour <em>retrouver</em> la voiture dans ce qui s'apparente à un labyrinthe niveau expert, un chemin <em>hostile</em> qui vient même à bout de sa remorque, la voiture à nouveau abandonnée au milieu de nulle part, un camping investi à 4h30 du matin.</p>
<p lang="en">Rangers waiting with us, driving us to a refuge 15 min from there, a scientific group arriving in the refuge, a sweet repairman with long eyelashes and a probably misplaced trust in junk food arriving past midnight, the path to the car wiped off our memories now the sun has set and what with the place bring an expert-level maze, a hostile road that's a little bit too much for the repairman equipment who will end up abandoning the car behind in the middle of nowhere, a campsite entered at 4:30am.</p>
<p>L'attente de la voiture, un retour forcé à Reykvavik pour un coût qui fait froid dans le dos avec le frère du premier dépanneur qui a encore moins dormi que son frère — une heure —, une arrivée le soir dans une agence aux pratiques douteuses qui exigent avant minuit une compensation financière provisionnelle correspondant au maximum potentiellement applicable à ce modèle de voiture (ce soit-disant système islandais est une arnaque), qui hélas ne correspondait pas à celui que nous avions réservé beaucoup plus modeste <cite>(« Another one drives the Duster »)</cite>, des économies envolées à grand peine après le bloquage des cartes bancaires engendré par le dépannage seul, des cartes bancaires essayées les une après les autres avec des montants toujours plus petits, le dernier versement à 11h59, l'impossibilité de relouer une bagnole après s'être fait dépouiller faute de pouvoir payer une caution, et voici comment l'on finit à faire du camping sauvage sur un rond-point.</p>
<p lang="en">The wait for the retrieval of the car, a forced return to Reykvavik at a most prohibitive cost with the former repairman's brother who had an even shorter sleep than his brother — one hour —, a late night arrival in a shady car agency insisting that a provision corresponding to the maximum amount for eventual damages be paid before midnight (that so-called icelandic way is likely a scam, fiy), a car model that ends up being far more expensive than the one we rented, an unrequited ‘upgrade‘ of tragic consequences, savings gone, credit cards tried one after another with increasingly smaller amounts to no avail as the cost of the towing alone had probably triggered an alert with the bank, a last paiement successfully proceeded at 11:59pm, no way to rent another car because we cannot provide a caution after having been completely ripped off, and that's how you end up camping on the next available roundabout.</p>
<p>Épilogue : des mois plus tard, une fraction infime de la provision que nous avions fournie remboursée par la compagnie qui a donc gardé l'essentiel de la somme pour refaire la voiture à neuf au passage, avec facture détaillée sur laquelle apparaissent des pièces pourtant complètement épargnées par l'accident, comme tous les sièges par exemple. <strong>Comme c'est pratique.</strong></p>
<p lang="en">Epilogue: months later, receiving a refund for a fraction of the provision we had supplied, with a detailed bill that show clearly how they replaced everything they could on this car, notably unharmed pieces like the seats. <strong>How convenient.</strong></p>

<p>Nous avons vraiment, <em>vraiment</em> dû nous poser la question de poursuivre ou non ce séjour après avoir lâché une somme aussi indécente. Considéré l'aspect exceptionnel de ces congés qui pour certains d'entre nous sont rarissimes. Relativisé sur des finances dont il est si raisonnablement disposé au quotidien que sans doute pouvons nous admettre qu'une partie de ces économies puisse être sacrifiée en cas de catastrophe. Pensé à l'argent supplémentaire qui serait perdu en lâchant des réservations, en reprenant des billets d'avion. Et nous avons donc pris le parti de continuer. Ayant… évacué ce post… compliqué, je compte bien revenir un de ces quatre avec de quoi vous en remettre plein les mirettes ! Mais pour finir sur une note plus sympa, quelques liens compilés ces derniers mois que je ne savais pas comment placer car ils ne sont pas nombreux :</p>
<p lang="en">At that point we had to consider whether to keep the trip going on or not after such an indecent sum was thrown away by the window. Arguments in favour were the considerable lack of available holidays for some of our party meaning time is of even more value than the money here, and a rather thrifty lifestyle with some financial margins for emergency crisis. And ultimately, giving up on already paid reservations, having to purchase another plane tickets maybe? Wasn't worth it, so we did indeed stay until the end. Pffeeew. Not that this rather… emotional post is… evacuated, I vow to come back with more amazeball photos on the rest of our trip! Might be easier now. But to end on a less bitter note, I have compiled a few links lately but not enough for a full post so I'm just dropping them here:</p>

<p>Depuis peu, ma région actuelle goûte des températures dignes d'une canicule islandaise. C'est l'automne, quoi. Ce post sera gourmand en photographies, et pourtant, il ne couvre qu'une journée de notre circuit. C'est ça l'Islande !</p>
<p lang="en">It's been a mere week that my current area of residency has been under temperatures worthy of an icelandic heatwave. I mean, autumn has come. This post is packed to the brim with photos, yet it only covers but a day of our trip. That's the spirit, Iceland!</p> <h2>Keldur</h2>
<p>Nous amorçons le tour de l'île par l'est. La première étape en ce 29 juillet nous amène au minuscule hameau de Keldur, afin de profiter du paysage de carte postale offert par ces maisons anciennes aux toits recouverts de tourbe. Bien que nous n'ayons pas souhaité nous attarder de trop sur le site, ayant pas mal d'autres visites prévues pour cette même journée, nous avons amplement profité de tout le charme extérieur de Keldur comme vous pourrez vous en faire une idée avec les quelques photos qui suivent. Les guides mentionnent souvent les origines viking de ce hameau, mais je dois dire qu'en personne nous étions plus près d'une ambiance agricole, voire allez à la limite <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/je-me-souviens">Village d'antan</a>, que du brouillard et de la corne de brume que nous promettent certaines séries télé.</p>
<p lang="en">Beginning of our round trip around Iceland by the east. First halt on this July 29th saw us entering the tiny village of Keldur to feast our eyes upon the wonderous display of (a handful of) ancient houses with moss-covered rooftops. Although we couldn't linger too long on the site due to many other visits for the day, the sight from the outside had much to offer as you will see in the following pictures. Books often allude to the viking roots of this place but truly, its charm is more of a feral nature, say maybe with a touch of <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/je-me-souviens">Village d'antan</a> at best rather than fog and foghorns as promised by some tv shows.</p>

<p>Pour revenir sur le thème de l'eau, notre dernier point de chute (prévu, mais je reviendrais là-dessus plus tard) ne pouvait pas mieux tomber.

<p lang="en">Our latest stop (to our knowledge, but more on that later) was right on point with the day's water theme. For I was about to finally gaze upon icebergs (so this word might not mean anything to you if you're reading this from a web archival database, but in these times it used to designate large chunks of ice floating around in the least tropical parts of the globe).</p>

<h2>Bonus (non, pas le cochon, l'autre)</h2>
<p>Alors que revenus au parking, nous nous apprêtions à quitter les lieux, nous avons remarqué une file indienne de personnes se dirigeant de l'autre côté, vers l'océan. L'idée nous a traversé que la côte nous dissimulait peut-être d'autres icebergs, ou qui sait, une colonie de phoques (mon appareil photo ne l'a pas capturé mais il y en avait bien un qui batifolait entre les icebergs). Et puis suivre les processions nous a déjà porté chance de par le passé : en 2011, en suivant un afflux de yukatas bien plus proéminent dans la population que de coutume, nous étions tombés sur les feux d'artifices d'Osaka. Malheureusement, le paysage plat ne donnait pas une traître idée de la distance à parcourir, ce qui au bout d'une heure à marcher sans but précis commençait à peser sur le moral.</p>
<p lang="en">As we were about to leave, we noticed a trail of people walking towards the ocean. Could as well be some extra icebergs in the sea, or perhaps a seal colony (it's not seen in my pictures but a seal was fooling around the icebergs). So we set out on the path, hoping for a streak of luck like in 2011 when in Osaka we followed a crowd dressed in more yukatas than usual, only to find a nice spot by the river where everybody had gathered to watch the summer fireworks. However the flat landscape was treacherous and an hour walking with no idea about the destination nor the remaining distance was starting to weigh upon our moral.</p>

<p>J'adore ce (court) passage dans mon film argentique lorsque les tonalités s'affirment et me livrent des paysages dignes des meilleurs sets de films fantastiques du début des années 80, avant de basculer dans le monochrome bleu Klein un peu trop prononcé à mon goût. Je reprends donc le fil de mes billets photos car tout de même il est totalement indécent de retenir en otage des photos de l'Islande lorsque l'on en a. Comme souvent, l'histoire s'arrête sur un volcan, l'un des plus connus du pays (ce qui n'avait pas l'air de déplacer les foules puisque nous avons dû croiser 2 ou 3 groupes à tout casser). Si nous avions « enchaîné » les sites (et sources d'eau chaude ;)) dans le Cercle d'Or au sein d'une même journée, pour Hekla nous prîmes notre temps, à l'instar des paysages qui s'étendaient inlassablement en déserts de sable noir. Hekla nous fit en outre la grâce de ne pas érupter sur notre passage, ce qui est toujours agréable de la part d'un volcan semi-prévisible qui a largement dépassé de plusieurs années la date estimée de son prochain chaos. Autre geste prévoyant et non des moindres, ces petites névés gardées bien au chaud jusqu'en juillet au cas où j'aurais voulu photographier en noir & blanc (tels les moutons islandais).</p> <figure style="{figureStyle}"><a class="media-link" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/public/photos/voyages/islande2017/canon-av1/0003_islande-expired-kodakgoldultra400.jpg" title="Purple-tinted photograph of the ash and lava desert in front of the volcano"><img alt="Purple-tinted photograph of the ash and lava desert in front of the volcano" class="media" src="https://www.messalyn.fr/public/photos/voyages/islande2017/canon-av1/.0003_islande-expired-kodakgoldultra400_l.jpg" title="Purple-tinted photograph of the ash and lava desert in front of the volcano, Hekla volcano, Iceland with Canon AV-1 and Kodak Gold Ultra 400 ISO expired film 003, 28 july 2017" /></a>

<h2>À part ça…</h2>
<p>Je pars me ressourcer en Bretagne ! Morbihan plus exactement. Incroyable de penser que l'occasion ne s'est pas présentée depuis… 2010 ? 2008 ? Si l'on excepte un court week-end à Saint-Malo pour un festival BD. J'ai hâte de feuilleter à nouveau le vieux livre folklorique d'Anatole Le Braz, ainsi que de <strong>refaire mon stock de grains de café !</strong> (et de thé breton, si j'en trouve XD). J'emmène des choses à faire, cela va sans dire (mais je suis moins téméraire qu'à l'époque donc ni toile ni huile). À voir selon ce que je trouve le temps de faire, mais je prends toute occasion de travailler dans un cadre où des fenêtres multiples et un jardin constituent mon environnement proche. L'autre jour j'ai essayé le plus grand parc de la ville, je vous raconte pas la déception… Ce n'est pas pour rien que je saisis toutes les chances d'aller voir du pays, ne pouvant admettre cette absence de sauvagerie. Aucun rapport du coup, mais les parisiennes, j'espère vous croiser à la soirée Voriagh lors de mon escale dans la capitale !</p>
<p>PS : J'aurais tout à fait pu poster ma dernière illustration plutôt qu'un post photo mais je ne sais plus trop quoi faire de mes nouvelles productions. C'est vrai que j'aurais pu aussi me lancer dans mes commentaires en retard sur les blogs que j'aime au lieu d'écrire ici, ne me jugez pas.</p>Printemps Indien Part IV : Retour et détoursurn:md5:0d379a9d2ab32035e569b0d1b0cf447a2018-01-24T22:14:00+01:002018-01-25T02:18:25+01:00messalynUnderbara ResabotaniqueCanon AV-1CilaoscimetièreExpéditionsLa RéunionLightroomNikon D60Piton de la FournaiseSaint PierreteathévolcanvolcanoVSCO FILM® 04VSCO FILM® 05<p>Étant éparpillée comme jamais en ce moment (j'ai même repris le site web, c'est dire), je n'ai toujours pas de nouveaux dessins à vous montrer, heureusement j'ai dans ma manche une dernière salve de clichés tropicaux, c'est cadeau !</p>

</figure> <h2>Tour de l'île à l'argentique</h2>
<p>Ce quatrième post de ma série réunionnaise sera un peu décousu car j'aimerais conclure avec toutes mes photos prises à l'argentique (un Canon AV-1 tombé entre mes mains fort à propos quelques mois avant ce voyage), tout en glissant au passage une dernière série de photos dans un lieu étonnant que je mourrais d'envie de partager depuis mon premier post. Plutôt que de l'entrecouper de paragraphes de commentaires car la période couverte est trop longue (et que j'ai oublié mon carnet de voyage à l'atelier) j'ai préféré légender mes photos.</p>
<p lang="en">This fourth post in my Reunion serie is a bit pulled together at the last minute as I've a whole film roll to show you, following my acquisition of a Canon AV-1 a couple months before this trip, and a last photo serie in a fascinating place I was dying to show you from the day I started these posts! Instead of writing inbetween pictures because the period covered is too long (and also because I forgot my travel notebook at my atelier apparently), I captioned all the photos.</p>

<h2>26 octobre, Le Labyrinthe En-Champ-Thé</h2>
<p>Très rapidement en arrivant sur cette île, j'ai pu me procurer du thé produit localement pour mon petit-déjeuner en profitant de la boutique de souvenirs de l'un des endroits que nous avons visité. Une plantation de thé française ? Voilà qui n'est pas banal. C'est le genre d'endroit que j'ai toujours voulu visiter, notamment lors de mes voyages au Japon, mais un périple en rase campagne japonaise pose un problème de logistique plutôt dissuadant pour le néophyte. Pas question de laisser passer ma chance cette fois-ci d'autant plus que le Labyrinthe En-Champ-Thé est très atypique dans le genre : relancé sur les ruines d'une plantation abandonnée quelques décennies plus tôt car en compétition avec d'autres pays aux salaires ridiculement bas, et ce malgré sa qualité à la fois reconnue et… méconnue. C'est ainsi que plusieurs générations d'arbres y cohabitent ; les plus jeunes y sont plantés de sorte à former un labyrinthe, comme le nom l'indique. Quant aux plus anciens, ils fournissent un rare exemple de cette espèce généralement taillée pour rester accessible à la cueillette : ici nous les croisons hauts de plusieurs mètres, comme la Nature les a fait.</p>
<p lang="en">Quickly upon arriving in the island, I found some locally produced tea for breakfast in the shop of some place we visited. Locally-produced tea: french tea? Now that's unheard of. I have always wanted to visit a tea plantation, especially when visiting Japan, but an expedition in some remote japanese countryside always felt too hardcore for me. Thus I had to take advantage of this unique occasion, even more so indeed as Labyrinthe En-Champ-Thé has its very own ways to do business: for starters, it's built on the remains of a previous plantation that had to stop production a few decades ago, due to the competition of countries with ridiculously low wages, and because its quality couldn't overcome its confidentiality. All of this resulting into various generations of trees, the latest having been sowed as a maze, as the name induces. As for the eldest, they have reached their full adult size which is a bit of a rareity as usually they are kept small so workers can pick up the leaves.</p>

<p>Depuis le voyage au <a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/tag/Perú">Pérou</a> je suis devenue aficionado des filtres qui reproduisent la sensation des pellicules photo, mais comme depuis l'année dernière je voyage également avec un bon vieil argentique, on va dire que je peux les mélanger, l'ensemble reste cohérent. Bon d'accord, peut-être pas cette fois avec ma pelloche des années 80. N'empêche que parmi les nombreuses photos inexploitables, il y a quand même eu des perles.</p>
<p lang="en">Since the trip to <a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/tag/Perú">Peru</a> I became obsessed with photo filters that reproduce the feel of authentic analog films, but since I now travel with an analog camera in its own right, I guess I can just post them simultaneously, both series blending perfectly. Well, maybe not so well, considering the film I used that time was really, really old. But some of them turned out to be good stuff, despite the high rate of failed ones.</p> <h2>Reykjavík</h2>
<p>Je n'ai pas pris beaucoup de photos dans cette ville. Nous avons profité de l'architecture nordique avec les baraques en tôle, été visiter rapidement la cathédrale moderne au centre-ville (pas un coup de cœur) et été déjeuner au pied de celle-ci dans un restaurant bien connu des touristes, le Café Loki. J'avais eu beau dire que je ne toucherais pas à leur requin faisandé, une fois repéré au sein d'une assiette de spécialités, ça n'a pas fait le poids contre mon habitude de toujours prendre le plat le plus excentrique d'une carte. À ce jour je n'ai pu dire non qu'au cochon d'Inde (Miracle. Pour moi comme pour la bestiole, d'ailleurs)</p>
<p lang="en">I didn't take much pictures in town. We enjoyed the local architecture with many houses covered in corrugated metal, visited the cathedral which won't remain with me as an imperishable memory, and ordered assortments of icelandic specialties at the Café Loki everybody seem to be visiting when visiting Reykjavík. And lo-and-behold, despite proclaiming more than once that I would stay away from their infamous fermented shark, I'll be damned if the second I took notice of it in one of the plates I didn't order it. It's just so hard for me resisting whatever is the strangest thing on a menu. The only time I remember being able to say no is to guinea pig, a blessing for both parties I suppose.</p>

<h2>Le Cercle d'Or</h2>
<p>Le lendemain nous partions faire le circuit touristique le plus populaire du pays, le <strong>Cercle d'Or</strong>. En une journée, des cascades, des rochers bizarres, des lieux de tournage de <em>Game of Thrones</em>, et des geysers, sans compter des sources d'eau chaudes pour bien clôturer cette journée, ayant bien pris soin de réserver notre logement à deux pas d'un tel établissement. Nous comptions en effet en profiter aussi longtemps que possible durant la soirée, vu que de toutes façons à cette saison, il ne fait nuit que pendant un court laps de temps. <strong>Secret Lagoon</strong>. Bien plus tranquille que le fameux Blue Lagoon, moins bleu aussi, mais avec des petits geysers en bónus !</p>

One day is enough to make the most of it, and there are waterfalls, geological point of interest, <em>Game of Thrones</em> filming locations and geysers to be seen. Not to mention the hot springs we did at the end of day, having conveniently chosen lodgings the other side of the road so we could enjoy it until the closure, hoping for late as anyway there is hardly any night this time of the year. <strong>Secret Lagoon</strong>. Far more intimate than the iconic Blue Lagoon, far less blue also but with small geysers as a bónus!</p>

<p>Et voilà de quoi débuter doucement une nouvelle série de voyage, même si je n'en ai pas fini avec la précédente. En fait, ce qui m'a bloquée avec la Réunion c'est d'une part que je n'ai pas su décider pour mes photos argentiques si je voulais les mêler aux autres ou les poster à part et si oui dans quel ordre. En d'autre part, j'ai beaucoup de recherche botanique à effectuer avant chaque post, alors qu'il ne pousse en Islande que des variétés de mousse il semblerait ! Même que certaines se mangent.</p>
<p lang="en">So this is like the perfect start of a new serie of travel blog posts, not overcrowded as it is. Remember, I still have another ongoing but I could never make up my mind regarding mixing analog and the digital photos which has delayed everything, and furthermore most posts also require some botanical research so it's kind of very slow, but I'll get there. Iceland will be easier to write about.</p>

<p>Je ne sais pas trop ce qui s'est passé cette année mais je ne pensais pas dépasser le délai d'une année pour relater ce voyage…! Ca m'était arrivé pour <a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/tag/Yellowstone">Yellowstone</a>, mais pas au bout du 3e billet, et puis mes méthodes de retouche photo étaient bien plus fastidieuses à l'époque. D'ailleurs, je me suis attaquée récemment à mes anciens billets de voyage pour les rendre plus jolis, si le cœur vous en dit. (En réalité, c'est mon blog tout entier qui subit actuellement un ravalement interne).</p>
<p lang="en">I'm not sure what happened this year because I certainly didn't expected to take a full year to write my reports about Reunion Island…! I experienced this for <a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/tag/Yellowstone">Yellowstone</a>, but certainly not before the 3rd post and I seem to recall my photo-retouching methods were far more tedious back then. By the way, I recently rearranged my old travel posts to make them prettier, just in case. (Actually the whole blog is concerned by a cosmetic rearrangement).</p> <h2>Le Volcan</h2>
<p>Si la brume épaisse de mon passage précédent avait fait mon bonheur d'esthète, il est vrai que les reliefs du volcan n'en méritaient pas moins un deuxième point de vue, en espérant que la chappe de coton qui y a ses quartiers à l'année fusse disposée à me laisser faire. Si j'obtins de la complaisance auprès de l'azur, le volcan m'opposa sa propre résistance, avec une éruption en cours en condamnant l'entrée. Ce qui est moins excitant que cela n'en a l'air…</p>
<p lang="en">If the heavy mist from my last visit had from an esthete's point of view been most satisfactory, as a point of view on its own it has undeniably failed miserably, so I hoped to try my luck once more. I didn't met resistance on the weather's part, but the volcano itself was another matter. Let's say I could observe from afar, but the volcano trails were closed as an eruption was ongoing, which is muss less exciting than it sounds as it didn't result in any phenomenon, lava, nothing of the sort really…</p>

<p>La suite de la journée nous a mené ensuite à la <strong>Maison du Volcan</strong>, un petit musée plutôt sympa, entre ses collections minéralogiques, son simulateur d'éruption, ce moment un peu… déconcertant avec la projection d'un film en 4D scénarisé pour plaire aux enfants auquel nous avons assisté parmi un public adulte voire carrément 3e âge… Par contre ce musée m'a un peu épuisée ce qui fait que j'ai à peine prêté attention dans la voiture au chemin qui nous a amené à la forêt de Notre-Dame de la Paix. À l'origine garés pour que je puisse me débarrasser de ma fatigue en faisant une courte sieste, j'ai fini par sortir aussi de la voiture puis m'engouffrer dans le chemin qui débutait là :</p>
<p lang="en">The remainer of the day saw us visit the <strong>Volcano Museum</strong>, not the largest but a pleasant one, with a collection of minerals, a funny eruption simulator, an awkward moment with a 4D movie probably more aimed at kids than the adult to elederly people audience that watched it with us… However the museum tired me a bit so I have no memory whatsoever of the road to Notre-Dame de la Paix forest, where we pulled over so I could nap a bit but ended up going out of the car and engaging on a trail:</p>

<h2>Conservatoire National Botanique de Mascarin</h2>
<p>Nous avions trouvé porte close à ce jardin quelques jours plus tôt, mais le 16 octobre, on s'était mieux préparés et nous étions présents dès l'ouverture. J'ai acheté au passage dans la boutique plein de thés aux couleurs locales (genre orchidée, géranium, galabert…) et un livre sur les poissons pour aider un peu ma mémoire quant à mes « plongées » en lagon, qui furent d'ailleurs autant de jours sans photos parce que je préférais mon appareil le plus loin possible de toute étendue sableuse… Pour revenir au jardin, celui-ci était plus carré, plus… étiquetté que le <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/printemps-indien-part-ii-retour-caz-depart">Jardin des Parfums et des Épices</a>, mais c'est un lieu d'études en même temps.</p>
<p lang="en">We had previously driven to this garden only to find it closed, so on the 16th we made sure the date was right and we could enter at the opening. I liked it there and got myself a nice supply of locally-coloured teas from the shop (think orchid, geranium, lantana…), as well as a book on fishes to help keep a mental record on the fishes I saw on beach days, such as I couldn't relate on this diary as the camera was safe home on these occasions. These gardens were more structured than the <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/printemps-indien-part-ii-retour-caz-depart">Garden of Perfumes and Spices</a> (the name is a dead giveaway), which is to be expected from a research center, I guess.</p>

Ayant enfin rattrapé un « retard de commentaire » engendré cet été, je peux sereinement me réapproprier mes terres et mon choix se porte sur un post réunionnais, encouragé aujourd'hui par une pluie inattendue qui ravive plus que jamais à mon esprit la végétation luxuriante et humide de la Réunion. La bonne nouvelle, c'est que l'illustration suivra sous peu !</p>
<p lang="en">With my Reunion island diaries on the hold but also a recently finished illustration at disposal, I've long hesitated about what to post first on my returning to blogging, after having been away quite some time this summer. But most of all it was my being late at commenting in other places that prolongated the wait for this place of my own, as I envision writing here and on other people's domains on the same level. Having finally caught up on that aspect, my mind feels free to return here at last. Under the influence of today's unexpected rain it seems like the perfect time to get back on the Reunion blogs, as the thought of this island immediately fills my mind with flashes of lush and green and humid landscapes… Don't worry, the illustration will be posted soon!</p>

<h2>Entre-Deux</h2>
<p>Autre jour, autre endroit. Le 11 octobre nous avions rendez-vous avec les nombreuses cases créoles de l'Entre-Deux. Mais nous avons fait tout d'abord une halte pour profiter de la vue au dessus d'un sacré pont, où nous avons pu observer l'un des oiseaux emblématiques du folklore réunionnais, le « paille-en-queue ».</p>
<p lang="en">Another day, another location. On the 11th of october we were headed towards a well preserved creole village named l'Entre-Deux. But first we made a halt on an impressive bridge from whereupon we watched one of the most typical birds of the Reunion, the phaeton.</p>

<p>L'Entre-Deux se trouve juste à côté du premier hameau où avaient résidé certaines des personnes de mon groupe, lors de leur installation sur l'île à la fin des années 60, après une première phase transitoire à Saint Denis. Nous avons d'ailleurs recherché la maison sur la colline d'en face avec mon téléobjectif. Ils n'avaient ni l'eau ni l'électricité dans les premiers temps, et déménagèrent au bout de 2 ans à Saint Joseph dans la case créole que j'ai déjà montrée — abandonnée — dans mon précédent post, et qu'ils occupèrent jusqu'à leur retour en France métropolitaine.</p>
<p lang="en">The Entre-Deux village lies very near one of the first places members of our group used to live when they settled on the island at the end of the 1960s, after a transitory stay at the principal town Saint Denis. We located their former house on the opposite hill with my telescopic lens. At first they had neither water nor electricity, and after 2 years they moved to Saint Joseph in the — now decrepit — creole hut I showed you last time, for many a year until their departure back to metropolitan France.</p>

<p>Seulement deux destinations pour aujourd'hui afin de ne pas vous submerger, bien que condenser un mois de photos n'ait pas été une tâche si compliquée en réalité, car passées de nombreuses découvertes je suis énormément retournée aux mêmes endroits, notamment les plages où je me roulais extatiquement dans les coquillages ou pratiquais le snorkeling dans les lagons à priori protégés des requins (mais pas des rascasses ou des poissons pierre, les requins n'ont pas le monopole du vice).</p>
<p lang="en">Only two destinations for today so as to let you breathe a bit, although making choices amongst a month's worth of photos didn't prove as hard as expected considering I often visited the same places over and over again, especially the beaches where I would roll over ecstatically on the shells or go snorkeling in the shark-free lagoons (yet not lacking in other vicious beasts, lest we forget about the red lionfish or the stonefish).</p>

Si je suis partie en famille, ce n'était pas la mienne, si certains frais m'ont été épargnés, je suis encore en train de rembourser le billet d'avion à quand même 1100€ ; et enfin pour la première fois cette décennie, je suis partie un mois complet. Ceci étant dit, certains jours ayant été plus richement illustrés que d'autres, vous devriez pouvoir échapper à un découpage interminable de ma part. Mais pas aux nom latins des plantes que j'essaie d'identifier dans mon livre <cite>La Réunion Faune et Flore</cite>.</p>
<p lang="en">Relating my travel adventures here has been a sort of tradition, but admittedly I usually do it as the family's archivist, either in term of photos or diary logs, so that trip to the Reunion Island I want to tell you about is going to be a little bit special indeed. While it was a family trip all right, it wasn't my own, and while I was saved some expenses, my repaying the 1100€ (!) plane ticket is still underway ; and finally for the first time in a decade I was gone for a full month. That being said, as some days were more picturesque than others, you might be safe from neverending instalments of my report. Not so much from latin plant names as I'm perusing my naturalist book about Reunion.</p>

</figure> <p>En dépit du tarif pour le moins… prohibitif de mon vol, celui-ci n'a pas échappé à la longue lignée de vols pourris qui a commencé avec l'avion manqué pour la Grèce en 2015. Ici, un changement d'horaire de la part de la compagnie combiné avec un retard prévisible à l'aéroport de Marseille, a bien failli nous coûter notre correspondance parisienne, et cela s'est joué à tellement un cheveu, que la moitié des passagers de notre premier avion s'est vue reprogrammée sur le vol suivant, tandis que l'autre moitié dont je faisais partie a pu tout de même embarquer sur l'avion « qui ne devait souffrir aucun retard », au hasard de l'alphabet et des choix divergeants du personnel naviguant en charge de la situation. C'est ainsi que notre groupe a justement été coupé en deux.</p>
<p lang="en">Despite the ludicrous price of my flight, it still was as much of a crappy experience as all those before since the missed one from Greece 2015. The company made a change to the schedule which didn't agree much with Marseille airport notorious delays. It was so close to a complete disaster that half of the passengers that were to take the same connecting flight didn't make it. It appears that the crew took opposite decisions after they alphabetically split us up. One half, of which I was, could board the plane that we had been told “couldn't suffer any delay”, while the other were booked on the next plane. Our own party was separated actually.</p>

<p>Arrivés avec le lever du jour, une fois tous réunis et ayant enfin retrouvé la trace de tous nos bagages, nous avons pris la voiture pour rejoindre la commune du Tampon (ça te fait rire, hein) à l'autre bout de l'île. Si j'ai pris quelques photos de nos premiers jours, premières plages, premier bord de mer, un mois m'aura laissé largement le temps de faire des clichés plus beaux encor, de sorte que je vais sauter directement au 4 octobre, non sans le regret de n'avoir pas eu un appareil photo chargé lorsque les ex-réunionnais avec lesquels je voyageais ont eu la fantaisie de vouloir retrouver leur maison de l'époque… abandonnée depuis leur départ. Très urbex.</p>
<p lang="en">We arrived with the rising sun and waited until we were finally all reunited, luggages included, to get in the cars and drive to the Tampon, a town the other side of the island. While I did snap pictures on the first days, first beaches, first pier, a month stay means I can be picky as to which pictures I should display here so let's fast-forward to october 4th, although not without a pang of regret as to having a discharged Nikon the day before when visiting the former house of my party, which had been abandoned after they left. Very urbex.</p>
<h2>Cap Ut</h2>
<p>Le 4 octobre, manque de bol, j'étais malade. Je m'étais levée la veille avec une voix rauque de bonhomme (appelez-moi Gérard), mais ce jour, et ce fut le seul, de la fièvre et de la fatigue tentèrent de m'empêcher de profiter de mon canard à la vanille et de crapahuter dans la lave avec tout mon attirail photographique. C'est mal me connaître.</p>
<p lang="en">On the 4th of october, too bad, I was ill. I woke up the day before with the harsh voice of a dude (call me Gérard, bro), but the new dawn apparently brought up fever and fatigue. Would it deter me from enjoying my vanilla duck and scouring the lava field with all my photographic gear? Uh, NO.</p>

</figure> <p>Le 31 juillet est une journée dédiée à faire une bonne portion de route vers le parc national Jasper car celle-ci est très scénique, réputée pour les nombreux glaciers qui la jalonnent. La plupart du temps, nous avons pu profiter de la vue simplement en nous garant sur le côté, mais parfois nous dûmes activer les patounes pour tel lac ou telle cascade.</p>
<p lang="en">On the 31th of July we mainly drove on the way to Jasper national park, a road packed with lots of viewpoints, especially glaciers. Most of the time we could just park the car to enjoy the scenery, but occasionally we walked a little bit further to some remote lake or cascade.</p>

<p>Nous sommes restés un petit moment au canyon Mistaya pour quelques photos périlleuses, puis sur le conseil fourbe d'un panneau nous sommes 3 à avoir marché vers un belvédère qui n'arrivait jamais (et au vu des inscriptions sur les panneaux intermédiaires, nous n'étions pas les seuls à avoir été dupés par l'absence d'indication de distance). Nous avons rebroussé chemin au bout d'un quart d'heure histoire de retrouver les autres qui devaient se demander où on était.</p>
<p lang="en">We stayed a little longer than usual at the Mistaya canyon to snap some perillous pictures, then on the advice of a rogue sign, 3 of us walked to a belvedere that wasn't nearby at all (and considering the annoyed manual inscriptions on the intermediate signs, we weren't the first to have been fooled by the lack of mileage!). After a quarter of an hour we walked back to the rest of our party who must have wondered where we were.</p>

<p>Après avoir repris la route nous nous sommes arrêtés au hasard dans une zone qui en réalité était un terrain de camping, sauf qu'immédiatement après que l'on se soit garés sur le bas-côté, on a remarqué qu'autour de nous il y avait des gens dans les voitures environnantes qui nous faisaient de grands signes… on s'était garés à deux pas d'un ours en train de faire un sort aux buissons d'à côté. Oui, après avoir pesté contre les sans gênes qui avaient fait ça juste la veille. Et dire que sans les autres personnes on ne l'aurait probablement même pas remarqué ! (On allait repartir).</p>
<p lang="en">A little while after we stopped again on the road in a area that happened to be a camping site. Only as soon as we had parked the car we noticed that in other cars nearby people were weaving at us… yup, there was a bear only a few meters away, giving a rough time to the bushes. Remember how only the previous day we had been so irritated by the careless tourist that did the same thing — well, consciously, alas. If it wasn't for the other folks I don't think we would have noticed! (We were about to leave).</p>

<p>Je tenais absolument à faire un arrêt à une maison de thé car c'est pas tout les jours qu'on tombe sur ce genre d'établissement mais l'endroit était noir de monde et semblait être des plus banals contrairement à ce que le nom laissait présager, donc, tant pis. Sur le chemin du retour, on s'est séparés en deux groupes, car mon père et mon oncle voulaient bifurquer sur une seconde balade, celle qui mène au lac Agnès. Nouzot', nous avions prévu de rentrer au chalet en navette, sauf que dans les faits on n'en a pas trouvé pas qui allait au bon endroit, alors malheureusement, bien malgré nous et nos pieds douloureux nous aussi nous nous sommes lancés dans une seconde balade… Rentrés à pied à travers la forêt, sur un chemin qui bien que très facile était beaucoup moins fréquenté que je ne l'aurais imaginé. Ouais, glacier -> maison entièrement à pied !</p>
<p lang="en">I had had a mind to try the tea house but the place was absolutely crowded and worse still, it wasn't at all the neat and cosy place the name induced me to think it was as far as the menu was concerned. On the way back, we split in two groups as my father and uncle wanted to go see lake Agnès. Me and my siblings intended to get back to town with a shuttle but it turned out that none went where we were headed, so in spite of our sore feets, we walked back to our lodgings through a trail in the forest, a really easy hike, which made me expect to stumble upon many families but we barely met a soul. Glacier -> home on foot only!</p>

<p>Or donc, plus tard bien que claqués et à deux doigts de siester nous avions réussi à nous motiver pour profiter de la piscine. Au moment où j'allais ouvrir la porte pour sortir, mon père et mon oncle ont frappé pour nous annoncer l'impensable : <em>Who pooped in da pool? Who? Who? Who? Who?</em> En se rendant sur les lieux pour en savoir plus, sans déconner, <strong>scotch jaune façon scène de crime</strong>. Moi je lui aurais fait boire son œuvre, à ce merdeux.</p>
<p lang="en">A little bit later in the day, despite being utterly tired and very close to napping we managed to find enough motivation to go swimming. But at the moment when I was about to open the door, my father and uncle knocked to inform us of a grave news: Who pooped in the pool? Who? Who? Who? Who? No kidding, we went to make sure and there was <strong>yellow tape and all, crime scene-style</strong>. Lucky they didn't give any names because I would have that little piece of shit drink his own masterpiece.</p>

Le 30 juillet, notre location de chalet dans la ville de Banff prenait fin, nous devions aller prendre nos quartiers à Lake Louise. Mais avant de partir, nous avions décidé de faire une petite balade pas trop loin, <a href="https://www.banff.ca/index.aspx?NID=650" hreflang="en" title="Fenland Trail on Banff Town website">Fenland</a> Trail. Nous caressions l'espoir d'observer de la vie sauvage au petit matin, mais les bêtes ne devaient pas être. Pourtant, ce petit chemin à travers bois offrait moultes orées tentatrices, des rivières protectrices et une lumière à couper au couteau. C'était superbe, bien sûr.</p>
<p lang="en">I will soon have a announcement to make, but first I want to catch on my canadian adventure reports. On the 30th of july, our hut location ended in Banff town and we moved on to Lake Louise. But first, in the early hours of morn, we went walking on Fenland Trail, located nearby Banff town itself. We hoped for some wildlife sightings since we were to walk through and near forest edges, along a river, overall quite the typical set of animal encounter in my experience, except not, they didn't care for it all.

<p>Après avoir quitté notre chalet pour 11h et pris un rapide déjeuner, nous avions prévu une seconde balade où l'on entendrait un peu moins le bruit des voitures (c'est vrai que Fenland n'était pas très loin d'une route). Vista Lake. La balade n'était pas excessivement longue mais nous ne sommes pas parvenu à nous poser confortablement au bord du lac, les berges consistant plutôt en fouillis de troncs d'arbre qu'en banques herbeuses. L'eau était de plus totalement glacée, même si la nature était assez similaire nous étions plus hauts que Yellowstone et <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/yellowstone-s-den-or-life-in-the-woods-part-ii-grand-teton">certaines choses</a> n'étaient donc plus possibles ! C'est à ce moment-là qu'un orage maousse a pointé son nez et nous avons repris le chemin du retour à toute berzingue, d'un trait jusqu'à la voiture que nous avons atteint à seulement 13h50 ce qui n'était pas exactement notre idée d'une après-midi bien remplie. L'orage éclata mais un peu plus loin, ne nous laissant qu'une chaleur étouffante. Nous l'avons subie quelques minutes le temps de nous remettre de notre course, puis nous avons repris la voiture jusqu'à ce qu'un <em>« bear jam »</em> attire notre attention.</p>
<p lang="en">Having left our house by 11am and a quick lunch, we set on a second hike remote enough not to hear car traffic from a distance as was the case with Fenland. So, Vista lake. Not a long one but we couldn't find a great spot to sit by the lake as the banks consist more of fallen trees with pointy bits rather than grass. And the water is sadly too cold to bathe in, marking the end of the similarities of the landscape with Yellowstone. We didn't got to stay long as a massive storm suddenly appeared lurking in the distant sky and we rushed back to the car, only to find the storm barely brushing us though considerably heating up the atmosphere. Just a few minuts to recover from our almost-running pace and off we were again, too soon in the afternoon as it was. Luckily, we found ourselves running into a ‘bear jam’ and taking quite some time to respectfully observe a grizzli from afar, having parked our car.</p>

<p>Changer l'habillage pour permettre des grandes images a été la meilleure décision que j'ai prise au cours des dernières années pour ce blog — qui ne souffre guère d'une maintenance soutenue, certes. Et comme je m'amuse bien sur la mise en page, c'est même devenu un véritable album photo pour moi. Qu'est-ce qu'un bon compte-rendu de voyage, de toutes façons ? Quand j'ai une expédition en préparation, c'est celui qui est détaillé, avec des petites cartes, des bonnes adresses. Pourtant quand cela me concerne, je ne fais les choses qu'à moitié, ce qui déjà m'occupe bien (tous ces champs « alt » à remplir sur chaque image…). En outre j'avais un jour lu un papier assez intéressant sur les habitudes modernes liées à la géolocalisation et autres précisions qui peuvent en réalité porter préjudice à certains lieux. Selon l'influence que l'on a sur ses lecteurs, exposer un sanctuaire ne serait pas toujours une riche idée.</p>
<p lang="en">Changing the layout to make room for larger pics was one of my best blog-related moves lately — not like I do much maintenance, but still. And since I'm having fun with the content layout too, this kind of post has quickly become the equivalent of a photo album for me. What does a travel post should be, anyway? When I seek them to help me prepare my own trips, I like them well-documented with maps and locations. But I hardly do it myself, it's too much hassle and if I can spare time it usually goes in filling all the ‘alt’ fields for the images. I once read an excellent paper about our new habits in travelling and how they can actually harm the places you're going to in term of exposure. In short: don't reveal too much, especially if you've got a broad audience. Some places are better off as hidden gems and chance encounters.</p>
<p>Oh, une dernière astuce concernant les voyages, apprenez la langue. Sérieusement, quelques chapitres avant d'aller se coucher, je vous garantis que vous aurez quitté le pays dans l'heure qui suit. Ca marche, je suis allée en Suède l'autre nuit. / <span lang="en">Oh, one last tip about travelling, learn the langage. Seriously, just read a few chapters before going to bed, I'll guarantee you'll be making tourist stuff by the next hour. I should know, I was in Sweden the other night!</span></p>

<p>Le 28 juillet au matin nous sommes allés au mont Sulphur mais je n'ai pas pris de photo marquante : la balade consistait en un chemin en lacet à travers la forêt et je dois avouer qu'au bout d'un moment chaque virage commençait à ressembler au précédent. J'ai beau adorer la forêt, je préfère varier les paysages en traversant par exemple des prairies. Il y a un téléphérique qui y monte directement et qui est gratuit jusqu'à 11h du matin, si j'ai des lecteurs qui songent à visiter le parc je vous suggère de réserver vos jambes pour d'autres randos. Au sommet la balade continue sur des « boardwalks » et apparemment on peut même jeter un œil par la fenêtre d'un ancien observatoire météorologique encore meublé à l'ancienne. Pour ma part et celle de mes <em>siblings</em>, j'ai préféré ne pas poursuivre cette partie qui d'ailleurs était noire de monde afin de descendre tant que le téléphérique était encore gratuit (la très longue queue nous ayant mis la pression). Argument supplémentaire, nous voulions nous rendre aux sources chaudes (Upper Hot Springs) en bas de la montagne, mais une fois sur place leur aménagement façon piscine municipale ne nous a pas convaincus. Autant dire que celles-ci n'étaient pas dans le haut du peloton des sources chaudes auxquelles nous avons eu affaire lors de nos voyages, aussi un chocolat chaud et des pockys au café à l'étage de l'établissement nous ont amplement contentés en attendant le retour de mon père et de mon oncle.</p>
<p>L'après-midi nous avions le temps de faire une autre balade, d'un niveau très facile d'ailleurs car j'essayais de ménager mes pieds meurtris la veille. Nous avons donc fait le tour du lac Johnston où <strong>mon oncle s'est même fendu de quelques brasses</strong>, le fou !</p>

<p lang="en">On the morning of the 28th of july we went hiking at Mont Sulphur but I don't have any pictures of it since it wasn't a very exciting walk. Basically the road consists of hairpin bends until the top through a forest that doesn't change much as it goes, and as much as I like woods, I'd rather cross alpine meadows or something like that from time to time. Plus, there's a gondola that goes to the top that's free until 11:00 am so if any of you readers are planning to visit I suggest saving your legs for more worthy hikes. At the top the road changes to boardwalks, this time crowded with visitors, to climb the actual Mount Sulphur and you can even go see a former meteorological observatory still furnished as in the old times. But I confess my siblings and I skipped that part to ensure our free trip in the gondola when it was still possible, and why not try the hot springs at the foot of the mountain. However these weren't particularly spectacular due to being arranged like a common swimming pool, so we were better off at a cafe with hot chocolate and matcha pockys waiting for my dad and uncle's return.</p>
<p lang="en">Then in the afternoon there was still time for another hike, a really easy one due to my feet condition. We went for Lake Johnston where my uncle even did a bit of swimming!</p>
<h2>Bourgeau Lake</h2>
<p>29 juillet. Nous avons passé une porte grillagée et entamé notre rando dans l'enclos des raptors. Comme il était tôt nous avons eu droit à de belles lumières sur le sol moussu de la forêt. Notre première demi-heure fut ainsi bien remplie de photos. J'espérais des prairies sur le trajet mais non, cela aura été 100% de la forêt jusqu'à la fin.</p>

<p lang="en">29 July. We go through a door in a chain-link fence and start our hike in the raptor paddock. It's still early so we're in for a lightning feast on the mossy forest grounds. We spend the first half-hour taking a lot of pictures. I had hoped for some meadows before the end of the trail, but no, 100% forest it is.</p>

Il s'agissait là d'un retour au Canada, un pays que j'ai visité la première fois en 2002 avec la chorale de mon école, où j'ai perdu un Calvin & Hobbes sur un bateau, survécu avec un mauvais dosage d'argent de poche quotidien de 5 dollars <em>avant</em> déduction du repas de midi, et pris plein de photos avec mon argentique Vivitar que j'avais précocément demandé à un Noël. Puis <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/je-me-souviens">j'y étais retournée en 2010</a> pour aller visiter de la famille. Ce qui fut encore le cas cette année (en fait, cette raison se cache derrière un voyage sur 3).</p>

Pour une raison mystérieuse, nous devions récupérer et réenregistrer nos bagages à Toronto, ce qui nous a bien pris par surprise d'autant que notre correspondance n'était pas si longue, et pour couronner le tout c'était très mal indiqué. Bien stressant. Ensuite, la passerelle par laquelle nous devions monter dans l'avion était bloquée (avec juste des petits bonhommes débarqués d'un autre avion coincés de l'autre côté). Longtemps après l'heure prévue de notre décollage, il fut décidé de partir d'une autre porte d'embarquement. Pour se rattraper, le personnel décida de commander un repas pour le vol, vu que l'heure du dîner était arrivée à force. Ils l'attendirent une heure, mais à la livraison… <strong>erreur.</strong> C'est comme ça que dans l'avion, les hôtesses passèrent en nous disant qu'il n'y avait pas de nourriture pour tout le monde et que c'était en notre âme et conscience de choisir de demander un repas ou non. « Bien sûr, donnez-moi le plateau de ce gosse, et en jouet vous me mettrez l'hôtesse playmobil. ». <strong>Nous avons atteint le parc à 3h du matin.</strong></p>
<p lang="en">Our flight didn't ended quite as planned. We had a huge delay in Toronto, too bad for my uncle who had expected to wait ‘only’ 3 hours, and who knew there remained the additional 2 hours drive to Banff, Alberta. For some reasons, we had to fetch our luggages and register them again (same company operating both flights). But we needn't have worried not finding our way in this airport, since the plane was doomed, first the passerelle was stuck (with people on the other side), then because it was well past dinner time staff thought we should have a meal and spent one more hour waiting for it to be delivered, only to find the order was messed up so they later had to tell us there wasn't food enough for all and that we should consider having it or not. Sure, I'll have that kid tray, I'll have a playmobil with that please.</p>

<p>Au début, je ne m'épanchais pas trop dans mon carnet de voyage :</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Lever pas trop tôt histoire de récupérer de la veille. J'avais repéré une balade en boucle autour d'une rivière (Spray River) mais on ne la suivra pas longtemps, le temps d'un pique-nique puis on bifurque contre mon gré sur une autre ballade, Hoodootrail qui débouche au loin sur des cheminées de fées. Je me flingue les pieds avec des ongles trop longs que je coupe trop tard, peut-être que j'aurais dû prendre des chaussures en 40. En fait Nico prend limite plus de photos que moi, papa doit être fou</p>

<p>Le 19 mai, lever relativement tôt pour aller au marché aux poissons, mais pas <em>trop</em> tôt non plus, au diable la vente du thon. Celui de Kyoto était déjà charmant, mais celui-ci ne nous a pas déçues. On y trouve donc du poisson, mais aussi beaucoup d'algues, de mochis, d'épices, de mochis, de légumes et de mochis. Nous nous sommes procuré deux coquilles Saint Jacques garnies additionnellement de poisson et autres fruits de mer, flambées au chalumeau, que nous nous sommes partagées en appelant ça déjeuner. Chacune a pu faire ses emplettes : ma sœur a ramené 2kg de saumon, ma mère des pattes de crabe des neiges et moi un assortiment d'ormeaux… Bon d'accord, on a acheté des algues et des épices, ça passe mieux la douane. Et des nageoires de Fugu. Pour aller avec mon triton de l'onsen. (En vrai ça sert à mettre dans le sake).</p>
<p lang="en">On may 19th we woke up early enough to visit the fish market, <em>not</em> tuna fish early though, we were not <em>that</em> craving to attend the sale. We had swooned over Kyoto fish market ; Tokyo's was even more enjoyable. So there was fish, obviously, but also a lot of seaweeds, mochis, spices, mochis, vegetables and mochis. We got ourselves a pair of blow-torched scallops stuffed with additional fish and shells that we shared amongst ourselves, calling it lunch. Then we went on a wee shopping spree: 2kg of salmon for my sis, snow crab legs for my mum and a pretty set of abalones for me… All right, not exactly, we just set on algae and spices, more custom-friendly. And dried fugu fins, to go with my dried newt from the onsen. (Official use implies serving it in hot sake)</p>

<p>Nous sommes parties de là avec une boîte de mochis pour manger plus tard dans la journée, et après une brève halte à notre appart à Akihabara nous nous sommes rendues à Ueno. Au moment où nous sommes rentrées dans le parc, les fameux scandinaves de Miyajima et Kyoto en sortaient, je ne saurais guarantir que nous ne les avons pas montré du doigt car c'était notre déjà 5e (et avant-dernière) rencontre !</p>
<p lang="en">We left from here with a box of mochis for later in the day, and after a brief halt to our appartment in Akihabara we went to Ueno park. And then I swear that upon entering the premises, the scandinavian folks from Miyajima then Kyoto were leaving at the same time! We might or might not have pointed them out, on the principle that it was our 5th chance encounter and not even the last!</p>

<h2>Dernier jour à Tōkyō</h2>
<p>Le 20 mai fut un jour un peu compliqué car le matin nous devions évacuer notre logement, le soir nous rendre à Narita pour dormir à l'hôtel, et entre les deux eh bien j'avais rendez-vous avec <a href="http://hananoshoujo.blogspot.fr">Rebecca</a> (encore !). Nous avons rencontré beaucoup de difficultés avec nos valises : ayant choisi la station Oshiage (Tokyo Skytree) pour être proches de notre train pour Narita, on a dû faire plusieurs fois l'aller-retour — autant sous terre qu'à l'air libre — entre les deux extrémités de la station ET entre la station et la tour en question sans jamais tomber sur un casier disponible. Mais bon, au final nous avons fini par trouver notre bonheur au sous-sol de la tour et après notre dernier resto du voyage, que nous avons également galéré à dénicher (ceux de la tour étaient trop chers, et aux alentours les rares existants fonctionnaient au moyen d'un distributeur aux photos délavées devant l'entrée donc non merci), nous avons toutes pris le métro, ma sœur et ma mère pour se perdre au lieu d'aller à Koenji, et moi pour retrouver copine Rebecca dans un parc où elle a ses habitudes (les flashmobs et le roller-skate, la plupart du temps).</p>
<p lang="en">20th may was a bit hard to manage as we had to leave our apartment in the morning, to be at Narita by the evening as we were staying at a hotel near the airport, and inbetween I had planned to meet again Rebecca. Much difficulties were met as to where to leave our big, heavy luggages: we thought Oshiage station (Tokyo Skytree) would be appropriate as it was there that we'd take the train later on for Narita, but we ended up walking between the two ends of the station, and from the station to the tower, a hella lot of times both underground and in the fresh air, to no avail as far as luggages were concerned. That was every bit as exhausting as it sounds, really. But somehow we managed to get directed to a basement under Tokyo Skytree where lockers were available at last. Then we tried to have lunch and it wasn't much easier as all restaurants in the tower were overpriced and those outside were 1) scarce 2) mostly consisting of a vending machine outside said restaurant with washed up pics of the dishes. No thank you. Well a meal was had ultimately in a nice little place, and we all left in metro, my sister and mum to get lost in the suburbs instead of heading to Koenji as I had suggested them, and me to meet Rebecca in a park in which she has her habits (the likes of flashmobs and rollerskating, mostly).</p>

<p>Ce billet pourrait s'achever sur cette image poétique mais la vérité c'est que l'histoire finit sur du crache-vitrines pailleté à Shibuya 109, l'horreur se peignant sur nos visages lorsque nous réalisâmes que même le gyaru (nommément Ankh Rouge) faisait du Lolita mieux que le Lolita.</p>
<p lang="en">This post could end on this poetic snap but no, the hard truth is that the story ended with a case of window-bashing at Shibuya 109, horror painted thick on our faces as we realized that even gyaru (Ankh Rouge) was releasing better Lolita than standard Lolita.</p>

<p>Un petit billet sur le Japon, ça fait longtemps. Comble de l'horreur, j'ai effectué un autre voyage depuis celui-là, aussi vaudrait-t'il mieux que je me hâte d'avancer dans cette série tant qu'elle est encore fraîche. De manière générale, le « goût du réfrigérateur » d'articles déjà vieillissants me rebute quelque peu, et pourtant quel travail de préparer autant d'images pour le web.</p>
<p lang="en">One quick article about Japan, it's been quite some time now. Worse still, I've travelled again so I better catch up with this asap. Generally speaking, I'm not one for the “fridge taste” one might get in one's palate from such delayed blog posts, yet I know fully well how time-consuming it is to prepare so many pictures for a web release.</p> <h2>Tōkyō</h2>
<p>Nous logeons du côté de Shinjuku pour deux jours à compter du samedi 14 mai. Nos premiers jours à Tōkyō sont consacrés à magasiner ou à simplement faire du lèche-vitrine parmi les boutiques excentriques qui hantent mon quartier préféré. J'ai grand hâte de retrouver les boutiques d'occasion lolita (puisque les neuves n'ont, semble t'il, plus rien à m'offrir — surtout qu'entre mes repérages et mon voyage, les collections hiver tant favorisées ont laissé place à des parures estivales dont je n'ai que faire), mais ma meilleure trouvaille je la fais le dimanche, en pénétrant l'enceinte d'un temple où je tombe par hasard sur une mini-brocante avec un excellent stand de kimonos d'occasion. Miraculeusement, je n'en achète qu'un, d'une belle soie mauve unie.</p>
<p lang="en">Our lodgings were located in Shinjuku area, we were to stay there 2 days starting may 14th. So it be that our first days in Tōkyō were dedicated to shopping or just marvelling at the displays in many of the exccentric boutiques so typical of my favorite district. I was very eager to visit the second-hand lolita shops (since the ones selling the new stuff had by then nothing more in store for me, with the winter collections long gone). However my best find was after I found myself into the premises of a temple, stepping into a mini flea market with a wonderfully purveyed kimono booth. I managed to only buy one, a silk mauve one, so pretty.</p>
<h2>Onsen</h2>
<p>Suite à une recommandation de François, nous avions réservé une chambre dans un onsen de la région de Nikkō. Et conformément à sa description, ce n'était pas de la tarte de s'y rendre. Nous sommes même descendues par erreur dans la gare où les touristes changent pour aller à Nikkō ; il s'est avéré que pour notre part nous aurions dû rester dans le train, et encore ! Si un changement de wagon n'était pas nécessaire. Même arrivées au village l'onsen paraissait inaccessible : un quart d'heure en voiture (et un singe) le séparait de la gare — une gare incroyable, d'ailleurs, le quai étant creusé <em>sous</em> la montagne. Arrivées à l'onsen nous sommes tombées immédiatement sous le charme, entre le pont surplombant une rivière visiblement géothermale, le dîner de notre vie, la bande-son à peine audible du <cite>Voyage de Chihiro</cite> (vu dans la boutique, les mêmes tritons séchés que dans ce dessin-animé).</p>
<p lang="en">Following a recommandation by François, we had booked a room in an onsen somewhere in the Nikkō area. And fitting with his description, it was not easy task to get there. Eventually we stepped out of the train in the very station where most tourists change train for Nikkō, to find out we shouldn't have. And upon ultimately arriving a few hours later in the village in an incredible little station <em>under</em> the mountain, one had to wonder how to ever reach the final destination, since it was at no walkable distance — and what with the hourly bus gone not ten minutes before the train's arrival… Luckily someone from the staff picked us and we even saw a monkey on the ride. Finally where we were meant to be, the charm operated instantly: the bridge over the geothermal river, the diner of our lives, <cite>Spirited Away</cite> soundtrack barely audible (also seen in the onsen shop: dried newt just like in the movie).</p>

<h2>Nikkō</h2>
<p>Le lendemain, nous nous sommes levées très tôt dans l'espoir d'être tranquilles au bain commun, ce qui n'a pas raté, personne ne nous y ayant troublées. L'un des bains était intérieur, et avait l'air vraiment chaud en plus de cela, alors nous en avons choisi un donnant sur l'extérieur afin de profiter du contraste qu'offrait le temps frais et pluvieux, ainsi que de la vue sur la rivière.</p>
<p>L'expédition vers l'onsen nous avait fourni un bon prétexte pour aller visiter la ville de Nikkō sur le chemin du retour, moyennant un changement de train. Mais une fois sur place la dure réalité de la surpopulation touristique nous rattrapa cruellement et nous finîmes par vagabonder librement dans les rues au détriment des coutumières visites de temples. À ce sujet, c'est à Nikkō que l'on peut observer, si on l'a mérité ce qui n'était pas notre cas, le célèbre trio des <cite>Singes de la sagesse</cite> au sanctuaire Tōshōgū.</p>
<p lang="en">The next day, we woke up very early in the hope of being as alone as could be in the public baths, and lo and behold, we succeeded! One of the baths was enclosed in the building, but another one had a nice view on the outside, so we picked it and enjoyed the contrast with fresh and rainy weather, and the view on the river below.</p>
<p lang="en">The expedition for this onsen proved an excellent occasion to visit the town of Nikkō on our way back, with a mere train switch. However Nikkō itself wasn't as quiet as our morning bath: it was crowded. We ended up strolling amongst the streets, unable to attend the customarily visits to the temples. By-and-by, Nikkō is the town in which the worthy tourist (not us) can gaze upon the famous trio of the <cite>Wise monkeys</cite> in the Tōshōgū sanctuary.</p>

<p>Bonne dernière, je poste mon compte-rendu de la journée du 11 mai des semaines après tout le monde, car les forces cosmiques avaient décidé que <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/c-era-una-volta-il-east-part-i-kyoto">touriste α et touriste ζ</a>, nécessaires français de tout pays qui se respecte, seraient réincarnés pour ce jour en <a href="http://matcha-latte.fr/fr/2016/05/fin-de-journee-au-fushimi-inari/" hreflang="fr" title="Fin de journée au Fushimi Inari">Chloé</a> <a href="http://matcha-latte.fr/en/2016/06/climbing-fushimi-inari-at-night/" hreflang="en" title="Climbing Fushimi Inari at night">(Clafou)</a> & <a href="http://hananoshoujo.blogspot.fr/2016/06/cccxiv-le-journal-de-hana-au-japon-3e.html" hreflang="fr" title="CCCXIV ~ [花 の ダイアリー !

Nous avons retrouvé la seconde dans une maison de thé qui avait attiré notre attention : <a href="http://www.ippodo-tea.co.jp/en/" hreflang="ja" title="Ippodo">Ippodo</a>. Lestées pour certaines de pas moins de 4 tasses de thé (et non lésées, si on enlève le thé, comme d'autres avec leur purée pour bébé goût épinards qu'un pompeux billet de blog et je ne sais quels artifices instagramesques feront passer pour un met de choix — allez, c'est bon, personne n'y croit) nous avons eu du mal à retrouver le droit chemin pour retrouver Chloé qui nous attendait à la gare de Kyoto, la forçant <em>de facto</em> de par notre retard à dépenser ses yens dans un eyeliner violet — le Japon, ce piège à touristes.</p>
<p>Après un déjeuner sur place nous avons pris un train et sommes parties visiter un temple, pour faire plaisir à ma mère.</p>

<p>La fibre spirituelle n'étant pas forte chez celles-là, nous avons décidé avec ma famille de rebrousser chemin à ce que nous croyons naïvement être mi-parcours, car la répétition qui s'installe lors de cette ascension ne justifiait pas, à mes yeux du moins, une montée de 2h alors que nous n'étions pas plus attachées que cela au rituel qu'elle pouvait constituer. (Je pense que j'aurais inversement pu faire l'ascension du Fuji). Sauf qu'en lieu et place de 2h il semblerait que seulement 20 minutes aient suffit à mes comparses pour atteindre le sommet, si tant est que leur ébahissement n'ait pas altéré leurs capacités de jugement, comme dans le cas de la personne qui a peint le dissuasif plan du site à l'échelle de ses rêves…</p>

<h2>Kyoto II</h2>
<p>Après quelques jours sans photos, dont une autre visite à un temple toujours pour faire plaisir à ma mère, car nous devions y rencontrer la fille d'une de ses connaissances qui y habite et a une vie fort chouette, nous avons fini par faire les magasins locaux pour y trouver certains des souvenirs que nous espérions ramener. Il y a 5 ans, un lieu nous avait impressionnés par la profusion et la qualité des articles qui y étaient présents, avec notamment ce formidable étage consacré intégralement aux estampes. 5 ans plus tard, un tremblement de terre et un afflux de touristes chinois sans doute plus facilement contentés l'avaient hélas bien transformé. Nos pérégrinations nous ayant conduites non loin du Nijō-jo castle, nous nous y sommes rendues, anticipant déjà le fabuleux chant de son plancher.</p>

<figcaption>Daims à Nara</figcaption>
</figure> <h2>Nara</h2>
<p>Deux étapes déjà parcourues en d'autres temps, mais qui restaient à découvrir pour d'autres. Kyoto nous promettant déjà quelques mondanités assez spécifiques question emploi du temps, il nous fallut donc enchaîner ces deux expéditions les 9 et 10 mai, tous deux jours de pluie du reste. Ma mémoire ne valant pas celle d'une geisha j'étais convaincue que ces deux points de chute étaient tous deux proches de Kyoto, occultant donc les 3h de trajet pour se rendre à Miyajima… Nara, en revanche, n'était pas bien difficile à atteindre en shinkansen, encore que le temple par lequel nous avions choisi de commencer nous sembla ne jamais se rapprocher. La pluie, le vent, et les daims lenahoschekivores eurent raison de notre patience et nous poussèrent vers une petite maison de thé sans le moindre regret, car même sans une divinité à nos côtés siroter un bol de matcha recèle également de trésors de spiritualité, l'ambiance étant toujours parfaite, travaillée sans en avoir l'air (cette pluie qui goutte sur les rochers dans la cour…!)</p>

<p>Reparties de là requinquées, nous avons donc fait volte-face en direction du temple emblématique de la ville, le Tōdai-ji, non sans avoir usé de toute notre persuasion pour convaincre l'une d'entre nous de ne pas bouder Bouddha et de manière générale, les temples. Mais qui suis-je pour hiérarchiser ce qui a de l'intérêt au Japon, quand certains pans sont absents des guides touristiques ? Qui parle du plaisir à utiliser une demi-heure les fauteuils massants du Yodobashi Camera, au point de se mettre dans la mouise quand en sortant de là on s'aperçoit qu'avec la durée du trajet de bus qui nous attend, nulle gargotte ne sera encore ouverte pour nous sustenter ? Mais inversement, comment renoncer aux temples comme s'ils étaient surfaits, là où l'insolite aussi y est possible, tel ce petit handicapé moteur qui nullement rebuté par le défi faisait la queue pour ce poteau troué à travers lesquels se tortillaient difficilement les visiteurs ? Et enfin, quoi de plus mystique que de retrouver à l'exact même endroit, le même daim borgne <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/c-era-una-volta-il-east-part-iii-nara-osaka">5 ans après</a> ?</p>

<h2>Miyajima</h2>
<p>Après un trajet très long comme statué précédemment, nous arrivons en ferry sur Miyajima toujours sous un temps pluvieux et humide qui n'en a que magnifié les paysages de l’île en les plongeant dans la brume. Quelques minutes après avoir débarqué, mon appareil photo me lâche à la première photo ou presque, alors même qu'à ce stade j'ai déjà le dos en compote de l'avoir trimballé les jours précédents, et une photo d'un shinkansen Evangelion pour solde de tout compte. J'ai donc pris les clichés qui suivent avec mon téléphone portable et l'application VSCO. Sur l'île, nous nous dirigeons vers la forêt primaire qui nous avait déjà tapé dans l'œil <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/c-era-una-volta-il-east-part-ii-miyajima-kinkaku-ji">il y a 5 ans</a>, non sans faire un saut dans l'une des nombreuses pâtisseries revendant la douceur locale à la forme de feuille d'érable.</p>

<p lang="en">So as to avoid embarrassing questions tomorrow when I see my family, in the lines of “Why didn't you post on Japan?”, I'm fully aware that today, I'm cornered and something has to be done. Luckily I have less pictures of this trip than usual and a vast majority of them have been edited already, so all I need now is to take some time to write.<br />
Let's begin… (english translation at the bottom)</p>
<figure style="{figureStyle}"><a class="media-link" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/public/photos/voyages/japon2016/kyoto0805/kyoto08-05_039.jpg" title="Ginkaku-ji and its pond"><img alt="Ginkaku-ji and its pond" title="Ginkaku-ji and its pond, First day in Kyoto #039, Ginkaku-ji, Kyoto, Japan, 08 may 2016" class="media" src="https://www.messalyn.fr/public/photos/voyages/japon2016/kyoto0805/.kyoto08-05_039_l.jpg" /></a>
<figcaption>Le Ginkaku-ji</figcaption>
</figure> <p>C'est ainsi que le 6 mai nous avons décollé avec Scandinavian Airlines pour notre deuxième périple japonais familial, mais avec un parent différent<sup>[<a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/kaminaze-girls-part-i-kyoto#pnote-451-1" id="rev-pnote-451-1">1</a>]</sup>, de sorte que nous n'avons pas complètement inové sur notre parcours afin de retourner aux endroits qui nous avaient le plus marqué à l'époque. <s>Je me souviens d'une petite ville côtière charmante, Fukushima...</s> Contrairement au <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/c-era-una-volta-il-east-part-i-kyoto">voyage de 2011</a>, les touristes étaient revenus bien sûr, mais mieux vaut être étouffés par leur présence que par la chaleur moîte à laquelle nous avions eu droit n'est-ce-pas ? Planifier ce voyage m'aura bien occupée, car nous avions décidé de faire l'impasse sur le Japan Rail Pass (BA-doum-BA(ss) !). La solution trouvée fut de se reporter sur les bus de nuits et un pass régional pour les environs de Kyoto, pour un coût total de 230€/personne pour les 15 jours (chiffre à vérifier) avec le bonus d'avoir 2 nuits à déduire du budget logement. J'avais en outre envisagé de partir pour Kyoto dans la foulée de notre arrivée, faute de trouver un prix décent pour un Paris-Kyoto. Maintenant il faut voir que parties tôt de Paris le vendredi matin, avec une nuit dans l'avion, une arrivée à Tokyo le matin et une nuit en bus le soir, ça fait beaucoup de déplacements et pas beaucoup de lits. Passé l'angoisse de ne jamais trouver le terminal de bus d'Ikebukuro, nous n'étions pas fraîches le 7 mai au soir, et je ne dis pas le 8 au matin. Ceci dit, j'ai trouvé le bus de nuit que nous avions choisi extrêmement bien fichu. Nonobstant le gang de motards et autres voitures thunées et bruyantes qui nous auront cernées un bon quart d'heure, bien sûr. Ce moment où tu émerges à cause du bruit et que tu es dans Akira.</p>
<p>Nous avions un Airbnb à deux pas du chemin des Philosophes, à 40 min de la gare de Kyoto mais le chemin des Philosophes étant peut-être mon endroit préféré de la ville, j'étais ravie. Notre hôte était un espagnol qui disait ne parler que sa langue ou le japonais, donc c'était le Pérou all over again pour Noémie et moi. C'était <strong>chouette</strong> de changer de vêtements. J'ai <strong>bien aimé</strong> cette partie. Nous avons déjeuné de nouilles froides (il faisait très chaud), visité le Ginkaku-ji, <strong>que nous avions raté la dernière fois</strong>, arpenté le chemin des Philosophes, puis fini dans le quartier de Gion, en somme un genre de best of Kyoto.</p>
<p>Enfin, enfin, voilà les photos. Mais je vous préviens, bien que d'ordinaire j'ôte chastement les clichés trop narcissiques de mes sélections, j'ai décidé d'en inclure plus ici afin de m'épargner une transmission de sélection étendue vu que de toutes façons, ces billets sont toujours et avant tout pour ma famille.</p>

<h4>English translation</h4>
<p lang="en">I travelled to Japan last may with my mother and sister, where we saved some money on transport fees using night buses and regional passes, but at the expense of some sleep at the beginning of the trip since I had booked a bus the day of our arrival, effectively meaning that after a night in an airplane we would spend the next one in a bus, although a comfortable one. We lodged near Philosopher's Walk and visited Ginkaku-ji temple and Gion district on our first day in Kyoto. Sadly no plane tickets were affordable enough to fly straight to Kyoto.</p>
