Taipei - Okinawa
Okinawa - Naha
My plan for Naha will not work. I had intended a whole day travel with their mrt to visit a number of places. Instead of returning at 5pm, we are supposed returned by 2.30pm. Later, someone told us it was because of canoeing competition or something like that. Probably they worried that there may be a jam. Nevertheless, our cruise could not leave on time, some guests had not returned. Later, we met someone who were late told us the taxi send them to a different port. I wondered if they have changed the port last minute due to some special reasons.
We arrived Naha very early in the morning, 6am, I think. We decided to disembark as early as possible. The cruise seem to dock at a different port according to what I had checked, but it is near to Fukushen gardens where I plan to visit. There was a map at the port ( I took a photo but I must have deleted it accidentally). The map show a straight road to the garden, to the Yui rail then we will arrive at Kokusai street. Look simple. On the way there is a temple too.
The sky looked a little overcast, the winds was blowing strong every now and then. It was rather cooling and I love it. Fortunately it didn't rains though we were prepared with our raincoats. It is definitely more comfortable strolling dry than wet. And I have a DSLR with me too.

Along the street, there were some flowers here and there. Not many, but it does brighten the place.

| diagonal pedestrial crossing |
The diagonal pedestrian crossing is really amazing. We save some time waiting for the second cross, especially in very hot summer or cold winter.
Then we are in to Kokudai street. Some shops are still not opened yet. At least the tourist information is not opened. We are really early!!
