Okinawa, Day 2

First thing I see when I wake up in the morning: the beautiful Okinawan sky

Woah, look at how packed together the houses are.

Sightseeing time. Shuri Castle:

How grand, even the faucets in the bathroom are dragon heads:

The ever present good luck charms. Each pair (one with mouth open to draw luck and one with mouth closed to retain luck) will bring you luck in various areas, depending on the color.

Next stop, the limestone formations of Gyokusendo Caves

A cute little drummer boy at the Gyokusendo Cave Kingdom Village

The making of the popular "black sugar"

A fantastic way to end the day: relaxing at the beach (Rizzan Sea Park Resort)

The beautiful sky seen from underwater

Dinner!

"Sea grapes"

And bitter melon. Very tasty, similar yet different from the ones we have in HK.

Even after the great meal, I still had to visit Lawson for a Jumbo:

Okinawa, Day 1

A great way to start a trip: a visit to Famiglia at Terminal 2

The skies above HK. Quite a nice change from the rain-filled weeks we've been having.

Neat looking lighting in the hotel lobby

Airbourne

A constructive wakeboarding session yesterday. Got some good air under my ollies and jumps. Naturally, "good" is a subjective word, so don't go expecting any miracles from a newbie like me.

Not my first wake jump, but definitely the farthest jump distance I've done to date; made it to the midpoint between both wakes!

And my highest ollie of the day...except I didn't stick the landing

Also did some 180's for the first time. Next target: 180 jumps!
