The Seas, The Sun & The Air - The Okinawa Way Feb 2017 (IV)

One of the most luxurious hotels that we stayed in Okinawa was Hotel Nikko Alivila. The moment we parked our car and moved in the lobby, we were "wow"ed by the "golden" coloured lobby.  There were heated pool, and elevators with view of the seas.  It would be quite x around $1K per night? 

After checking in with the assistance of the service staff (she was on working holiday and a chinese and this was the first time that I actually realised how popular working holiday is), we went out to take a look at the beach.  The water was very "okinawa" - blue, and we chanced upon some cute rock formation - like Taiwan Yeliu Rocks?  Spent some time dipping our feet in the cool waters, and hearing the waves hitting the rocks.  It was a great way to chill and relax. 

There was also a church nearby and we happened to see a wedding photography session. Quite a good choice to have photos taken here. 

The drive to Kouri Ocean Tower, a stop that was inspired by the "Macau Law Wai Son" show, was also scenic.  My dear was "wow wow"-ing at the beautiful oceans when we were driving there and she told me I had to concentrate on driving and I could not stop to see the views.  The vehicles were suddenly moving very slowly as we got onto the bridge leading to the Tower.  Magnificent view, absolutely.  We should have bought a Gopro!

The famous portion of the Tower was the bell at the top, and this was the place that we could see the 360 degree view of the seas.  The space was quite small and all of us have to take turns to take photo with the bell.  

We went to the souvenir shop to get some goodies and we tasted most of the samples before deciding what to buy.  Interestingly, there was a lucky draw when you made payment at the cashier and the amusing part was if the cash register opened with some music, my purchases would be FOC! Haha.
