Marie, Lauren and I had been looking forward to this Okinawa trip for ages and the day finally came for us to actually go. :-) For those of you who don’t know Okinawa is like a tropical island with many smaller islands attached to it.
We arrived in Naha on the first day which is the capital of Okinawa. I had a bit of a rough plane ride and was glad to get off of it. I was so sick that I threw up. Not the best start to our trip but I felt much better once I had got off the plane.
Our hotel was very fancy and nice. We had apparently been upgraded to one of the best rooms in the hotel. It was really nice – probably the best one I have stayed in so far in Japan. Once we dropped our luggage off we put our bathers on straight away and headed to a beach in Naha. Naha isn’t famous for its beaches so we weren’t expecting anything too exciting. We managed to find a small swimming area which wasn’t great to look at but the water was really nice to swim in. Marie and I made the most of it and jumped right in. Lauren decided to just have a laze about on the sand. 
After we took a dip we headed to the main street to find something to eat. Okinawa is famous for its steak and seafood and that’s just what we ate. Lauren and I shared a steak and lobster. It was absolutely delicious.
We also tried some ‘Awamori’ which is famous alcohol in Okinawa. I think it is a type of brandy. It was pretty strong but really nice.
After tea we walked up the main street and checked out some of the souvenir shops.

Yeah we went to Okinawa! It was so good - at least the man made beach had clean water!
