Okinawa – The tropical South <2009.3.8>

Somehow I nearly forgot – I have never been to the tropical south of Japan, OKINAWA!

Famous for its hundreds of Island laid back on volcanic scenes with tropical surroundings.
Some of you may remember it from the movie Kill Bill Vol.2?!

Anyway it is one of the best dive spots here in Japan, so it was on my MUST-List to visit.
Here you can find the highlights of the 5 day exploration above & under water:

Traditional Greeting of Shissa (or Austrian: Scheisser :-)




Spectacular coastal lines

Famous sights & even more famous food


Very impressive Aquarium with even 3 whale sharks



& Underwater – one of world’s best dive spots: Kerama Islands



There are really many snakes:


And countless little fellows :-)




Okinawa is real gem of Japan and must to visit. It’s a pity I never had been there before, but I am glad at least to know now what I missed x-)


Yours BILL
