Weekend of Beach Camping

We headed out of town on Saturday when I got done with work... Nate had the Pajero ready to go! We drove up to the northern most point of Okinawa called Cape Hedo. By the time we arrived at Hedo Beach it was dark... so we set up camp in the dark, which we have become pros at by now! The picture above shows our campsite the next morning. After we made breakfast we headed out for a day of exploring.

This post was out on the point of Cape Hedo.

It also said the same thing in Spanish on the other side, but I couldn't see the 4th side.

From the top looking down into the water at Cape Hedo... the reef looks awesome!

There is also a cave that you can SCUBA dive in.

We we to the peak of some neighboring cliffs and this is the view of Cape Hedo from the top. The weather was really rainy and dreary all weekend unfortunately.


After driving up the west coast of the island on Saturday we started to head

down the east coast on Sunday to our next camping spot at Uppama Beach.

This beach was beautiful and was more of a sandy beach in comparison

to a lot of the rocky and coral beaches that are very common here.

We had a great time exploring the upper portion of Okinawa this weekend...

so much different from down in the middle/south where we live.

It is a beautiful island everywhere, but the north is spectacular!

Our Scooter!

We are finally the proud owners of our very own scooter!

We are so excited and can't wait to hit the streets with our new wheels.

We still have to get it registered, licensed and insured. We also have to take a motorcycle saftey course in order to get our motorcycle license. Yes, we have to get a license to drive a scooter :)
