Day 5, we went to Okinawa World, a theme park with traditional Ryuku culture and craft, snakes, turtles, insects and a massive limestone cave.
After 4 days in Okinawa, we finally tried the Blue Seal ice-cream, a brand of ice cream that is prevalent in Okinawa. We had it despite it being a rainy and slightly cold day. It's a nice soft serve, but not very unique.
We saw glass-making ...
the kids "picked" pearls...
and Nadine dyed her own bag.
This form of dyeing is based on the Ryuku Ai, a plant with a deep blue color resembling Okinawa's ocean and sky. It was interesting to learn the process of dyeing
Voila - the end product!
Meanwhile, Daddy and Aaron were roaming around, discovering other parts of the park.
And we did something we'd never done before - dress in traditional costumes to take photos! But Nadine was too cool to do that with us. And we took some incomplete family photos.
Next, was the Habu Park, featuring different types of reptiles, and a snake show.
After Okinawa World, we went for dinner, before heading to our next accommodation - our Doremon Home.
The apartment is a bit old, but the owner is absolutely thoughtful. She included so many amenities, it was better than a hotel!
And the kids went crazy playing with the old school playstation! Their favourite game - Streetfighter!
