The Good, The Bad and the Tugly
October 7-9, 2012
THE GOOD:
On the last full day on the island of Zamami we rented kayaks and an obligatory guide to paddle around some islands , stopping to have lunch and snorkel in a couple of places.
It was a far tamer day than we had imagined but still enjoyable. Our guide , K., was a novice guide and was reluctant to let us snorkel without a lifejacket on. Such a joke!! The water here is so buoyant that the day before I had needed 3 lead ...

Royalty
... base Sunday evening. That meant we lost our guide and translator. Earlier in the day, the drive from Ginowin (where Josh lives) to Okinawa City (where we are staying) seemed easy enough. In the dark and without Josh, though, it was an entirely different experience. We stopped for directions two times. However, our hotel is not in a tourism area so no one speaks English.
