Asia 2009: Day 17 (Okinawa)

After a rather rough day at sea, we arrived for a very brief stay in Naha, also known as Okinawa.  I took a shore excursion to Shurijo Castle, which was disappointing. The weather wasn’t great either — hot, very humid, with occasional heavy rain.

On our way out of the harbor, the captain announced that due to Typhoon Lupit (which is actually just a tropical storm), we were going to skip our next port of call (Taipei) and go to Hong Kong a day early. I’m disappointed that I won’t see Taiwan, but more time in HKG is definitely a bonus.

Here are some photos from Naha:
