Getaway, part 2 Virgo to Ishigaki

We arrived Naha. The last time I missed Fukushu-en garden with Choo. This time I made it to the garden first. It is a chinese style garden.  China has given to Japan. It is quite small but well maintain.

Then we walk to the famous streets - Kokusai street, Makishi Public market, Shijo Hondori and Peace street. they are all link. We  had our sashimi lunch. (it's a pity I lost the photos) lots of things to see and buy here.

Next destination, we arrived Miyako-jima. We had planned to rent a car but cannot find the place. We came upon a bicycle rental shop, the bicycles were too big for me and with the many slopes, I have no confident too. Hence we just walked around.

Getaway ,part 1- Virgo to Nansha

While Virgo arrived in Nansha, we have very short time here as the port is really very far away.
Instead of travelling to town, we select the nearest spot at Jin Zhou station.
