A somewhat philosophical title this time, but who was there will understand.
any event, this time it went to Okinawa 冲 縄! A paradise island group near the equator.
far so paradise ... ;-)
any case, it should be a great trip, so there was a large tour group. Collection includes Jenny, Katja, Henning, André to Japa, Yuumi (Ex-Ausstauschstudentin and Okinawa woman) and myself.
Then let something that seemed very close to hell, the weather! Henning called me and said, "sewing haste, the weather forecast for next week on Okinawa have seen?"
I said: "Nope, wasn los?" He said: "70% Chance of rain!"
Well, in Japan and "Rest South-East Asia" there are something like the rainy season and should already be over, this year, but 10 days later in start ...
So we came in and it was humid. hot and raining!
But we were invited to eat Yuumis parents barbecue and all sorts of other goodies and there was the rain only once no matter. It was delicious and was the perfect setting to get used to everything (air, the people, the liquor, etc.).
The first night we spent einwenig still divided. Jenny, Katja, Henning and I slept in the Hotel Nikko. This also had a 温泉 onsen (Japanese bath) and breakfast buffet, so we could go quite relaxed the next day.
was scheduled crossing to the island Akajima. And it rained and we had some pretty swell ... And I so to Andre: "All right, it can rain the whole long passage as long as it is after you!"
I hope this is not blasphemy, but my word in God's ear and just before the arrival of crack in the clouds and the sun popped down on us! ;-)
Since we did not know whether we would stay there in the rain, we had no accommodation booked, but luckily it was the perfect place for us! (Paradise content)
We then immediately bathing suit on and into the sea! GORGEOUS!
then grouped into different dream beach and again: GORGEOUS!
indescribable, but the photos might give a hint ....
For dinner there was a series of freshly caught Fish! Starting from 刺身 sashimi (raw fish, but not sushi ...) followed by grilled fish in a wonderful sauce and to finish fried fish which was still inside so juicy that it was pure madness! MHM!
For breakfast, there was homemade jam and homemade bread! How it tasted? TRAUMHAFT! ;-)
Strengthened by this breakfast, we went out to sea for diving / snorkeling! We met Nemo, Dori and Co! Was incredibly spectacular! (The photos are below but ausm aquarium ...)
Why are we there yet time away? No idea, at least we took after lunch (Okinawaudon) the ferry back to the main island. There we should return in the Moon Beach Hotel and this hotel had pretty much everything you could wish for!
The part was hell, that we have taken all pretty nasty sunburn and so could not really enjoy it all ... Well, the coin has just always 2 sides ...
it has been worth it and was a lot of fun! Thanks to all, I'll still think of the long holiday! Thanks primarily to Yuumi and the family, you have done this be an unforgettable holiday!
