Okinawa, Day 4

Aww...after days of sunshine, the rain finally came down on day 4. So much so that our glass boat outing had to be cancelled. Instead, we visited the underwater observation tower:

Check out the poor fish getting tossed back and forth.

Next stop was the Nago Pineapple Park. First a quick auto-driven ride through the park


Then the gift shop. Everything was good, but this cake was the absolute best in the shop

2nd place: the pineapple parfait sundae

Afterwards, an afternoon at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium



Awww....kawai!!!



...him, not so much


Funny little sandworms. Check 'em out moving here.





The main attraction, the huge Kuroshio Sea Aquarium, 2nd largest in the world and made of the world's largest acrylic glass panel measuring 22.5m x 8.2m x 60cm. Home of 3 large whale sharks.


Moshi moshi kame yo!

The dolphin show


But my favorite part of the show, watching this little audience member posing




For dinner, a simple yaki-style grill


...and another visit to Lawson. This time, chicken cartilage jumbo


Plus, the pioneer Nissin cup noodle + leftover crab in the fridge =
