Okinawa day two

Got up and got the car from the super cool car garage before heading out for a bit of a drive to one of the nicest beaches in Okinawa, and as it was a work day, it was pretty near empty! 
We swam in the warm clear sea and rented some goggles so that we could see all the fish swimming around us, so beautiful, it shelved quickly to about 2-3 meters then shelved and had lots of rock formations for fish to hide in and around, it was beautiful. 

After spending a good amount of time diving down and chasing fish around we headed on to another smaller castle formation on a hill in the middle of the island, with nice views over the city. Driving back to the city through an indstrial neighbourhood the road was covered in tyre tracks, all over the road, as people had been racing and doing donuts everywhere, apparantly rarely foreigners most are local japanese showing off their sporty cars after the industrial parks close, real life tokyo drift!

In the evening we were once again treated to a beautiful sunset and in the evening went to Mina's sister's house for a drink and a look around at a japanese persons house, it was lovely but a little small, they were very friendly and welcomed me in, insisting I try on their traditional style pyjamas, very fashionable, and insisting I take them with me when I left, haha, a crazy but definitely memorable gift!

Flying to Osaka tomorrow, the mainland, I can't wait!
