Okinawa - November 2019: Day 3

After 2 nights at this wonderful apartment, we checked out to move up north.

Stopped at the Okinawa Christian School International for some scenic shots.

 

We also stopped at Kaiholo Cafe for breakfast. It's a really popular place mentioned on Tripadvisor and many blogs, but it's a very small restaurant ... and frankly, not very friendly services. Food's ok. But their real saving grace is Hana, their pet dog.

From there, we went to Cape Manzamo, probably the most scenic cape we've seen so far.

  

 

I love this shot of Nadine trying to get rid of the twigs from Aaron's jacket ... if only they're so loving all the time!

Next, Nago Pineapple Park!

It's quite a mish mash of a park, with a pineapple field, many snacks, drinks, wine made from pineapple, and a dinosaur section! 

 . 

After that, it was off to find our 2nd Airbnb - a cabin in the Izumi forest. And as we were looking for the place, I understood why the owner kept asking where we'll be coming from, so that he can send us the precise Google map direction. The address led us to 2 tombs!

But once we found the right place, we were totally wowed by it!

The kids were totally thrilled with the place. They loved the hammocks, Aaron loved the telescope, which unfortunately, we didn't get to use because it was cloudy the 2 nights that we were there. And I loved the washer and dryer!

After resting for a bit, we headed out for dinner in a nice French-Japanese restaurant owned by a young chef. Place was beautiful, food was excellent and chef was handsome! Reminded us of Korean drama Temperature of Love.

It has an adjoining glass studio, and all its glasses are one-of-a-kind. 

Even its cup is unique

Very satisfying dinner! Each dish had a myriad of taste, French and Asian, very subtle and unique, and the different flavours all combine really well. The chef didn't just cook well. He baked really well too. Very talented. If this restaurant is in Singapore, it'll definitely become one of our favourite restaurants!
