Today's Motion GIF from Senagajima: Windsurfers

They put on a great show, even when it's a little cloudy outside.

Tourists, visiting Senaga Island, get a quick class and they learn how to sail those things.

Once upon a time, I tried windsurfing.

After about 25 attempts at standing on the board and, lifting the sail the thing took-off.

Nobody showed me how to steer and, a big wind came along.

At the time, I didn't really feel like visiting China and, that's the direction, I was going.

So, I jumped off and paddled back to Okinawa.

Then, I finished my beer and went home.

Senagajima Gets a New Hotel

 

These photos were taken yesterday on Okinawa's Senaga Island.

The Ryukyu Onsen Grand Opening is today.

What you are looking at is a brand new hot spring resort in the Ryukyu Islands.

 It's so close to Naha International Airport you can see the planes take-off and land.

You could hop off your flight, grab your luggage and be there in less than 20 minutes !

 A friendly staff is waiting to assist you and show you around.

They have over 100 rooms for guests.

 

The place is full of surprises.

Massage Service, Body Salon, Public Bath, Sauna, Conference Room, Banquet Hall, Outdoor

 Swimming Pool  and a Japanese Outdoor Bath, are just a few of the goodies offered.

Pets are allowed, too.

Guaranteed to be popular, is the Lunch Buffet.

Whenever you see a sign that says Lunch Viking style that means:

Help yourself to All You Can Eat !

Lockers are provided for only 100 yen.

And get this.  When you are done using them, your money comes back to you !

Ready for the Grand Opening, bouquets of flowers were on display, everywhere.

When Mrs. RyukyuMike finds out about this resort, I'll have to take her there.

First, I'll have to ask them where they'll keep my Huskies.

Once everybody gets settled, I'm going to jump in that onsen and live in luxury !
