zazami jima

Ama beach is just in front of my campsite. Was snorkelling there when i saw a snake. Found out later that quite a few snakes are found in ama beach. Was invited to a Japanese bbq by an ojisan i met the day before. before the night was over, i was filled with awamori (okinawa alcohol) and given the key to a cottage by a japanese who were in charge of the cottage accomodation. Haiz... wished i was given the key earlier, i wouldnt be suffering from backache from sleeping in the tent. my mode of transportation in zazami was hitchhiking as buses as a long wait and most okinawans are friendly enough to give you a lift.
