Yanbaru Drive

Filed under: — Andy @ 5:45 am

When we woke up the day after the typhoon, it was surprisingly calm. The typhoon appeared and went very quickly. Since it was actually sunny, Ken and I decided to take a drive up north to the Yanbaru area. When you think of a tropical island, you really have to go up north in Okinawa to see one.

We got up in the area and found a nice cafe and had vegetable curry for lunch.

We then took a hiking path through the jungle. There are really no green areas like this down in the city areas. While hiking we saw an orange bird, some lizards, and a really giant white tree slug.

After the hike, we went driving around some more.
This tree in the middle of the street is probably from the previous days typhoon.
