Welcome to Japan! Only in the afternoon we docked in Naha – the capital of Okinawa. I was here more than 20 years ago flying from Taiwan with the intention to cross Japan south to nord by ferries and trains… It is the same country: clean, polite, cultural… I like Japan! The main attraction in Naha is the castle. Years ago they started its restauration. Sorry. it is still going on… I took a funny monorail to get there, then paid 400 yen for entry and except solid walls and gates I didn’t see much. Main pavilion is fenced. But I like this excursion – many flowers are in blossom on the way and many smiles…

Security guys in the castle wear traditional costumes – interesting:

Girls and boys wear nice uniforms and are happy to talk with the foreigner:

Tomorrow we have day at sea…
