Naha city's morning travel is worse than our wildest expectation- traffic crawls inch by inch! It was quite ironic - we expected heavy travel in Tokyo but there were hardly any and while we didn't expect any traffic delay on the island but ended up almost missing the sailing. We took the taxi from our hotel to the ferry terminal to Tokashiki island to snorkel. We had to exit the taxi halfway and ran the remainder distance to catch the 9:00 am sailing, in pouring rain! So far, lots of drama (Mei made it last night, in the nick of time for us to catch the flight to Naha city ), adrenaline and vigorous exercise as expected, typical of Commander Wu's style.
Snorkelling at the Aharen beach was not ideal today due to the poor weather. The life guard said he will not be responsible for us should there is danger due to the heavy rain and possibility of thunderstorms (two people were killed and two injured last year due to thunderstorms). We did it anyway and saw many fish not far from the beach. Not as colourful as the ones in Hawaii, though.
We sampled the Okinawa soba noodle for lunch. Quite yummy. Now taking the slow ferry back to the hotel. The rain is still pouring down 😪.
