Tokashiki Tradition

This weekend we went to Tokashiki Island, it's about an hour ferry ride away from Mainland Okinawa. We left early Sunday, well that's what we were aiming for at least. When we arrived at Naha port, there were so many people. More so than usual because there was a typhoon the day before so the ferries were not operating that day...and on top of that, there were a ton of tourists. So tickets for the 10:00 am ferry were all sold out. We ended up taking the 1:00 pm ferry instead. It wasn't too bad, we still had plenty of beach time when we arrived on the island. We stayed in a cute hostel near the beach. The view was like how I remembered...BREATHTAKING! The water was every shade of blue you can imagine...it was a little murkier than last time because of the typhoon but still gorgeous. Kevin tried to swim out to touch the buoys but quickly turned back when he saw a fish that, at first, resembled a water snake! AHAHA! I saw a white fish, the size of my hand, swimming close to the shore. The sand was honestly so soft and the sun against are skin was soothing. The hostel provided us with breakfast and dinner, we only stayed there one night and came back today (Monday) at around 3:00 pm. We had a lot of fun and I'm ten times darker now...no burns though so YATTAAAA!!!
