Japan Travel Note I : Tannonwa, Wakayama Pref

My best Australian friends - Margie & Chris were staying @Tannowa, Wakayama for some time in April and May, and I had the pleasure to visit them twice during the cherry & azalea blossom season.

They are now upsailing along the Nihon Kai (Japan Sea) and on their way to Russia with their sailing boat - Stormbay...

Hope that everything is going well with them!

BTW, Tannonwa has a beautiful white sandy beach and is supposed to be the most beautiful beach in Wakayama! Too bad that it ws still a bit chilling to jump into the sea while I was there...

Kisses from Japan!

Prelude of Japan Travel Note

ALOHA!
LONG TIME NO SEE, my dear friends!

Sorry for a long silence.

I've been roaring and wandering all over Japan - twice to Kaisai Area (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nara, Tannonwa @ Wakayama Pref. etc.), and a trip to the southernest tip of Japan: Yaeyama Islands of Okinawa Pref, incl. Ishigaki Island, Iriomote Island and Taketomi Island etc.

Have done list:
- Hanami (Cherry blossom appreciation)
- Tourism (museums, parks, castles, temples, shrines etc)
- Night life (Salsa clubbing, Karaoke, hanging out in fishy bars@Namba, Osaka...)
- Swimming, snorkeling, hiking, trekking, canoeing...

Of course, photographing too!

Lots of stories to tell and many pictures to share, so please be patient with my snail-crawling speed!

In addition, I'll be absent again from 24th May until 12th June. The destination this time is far far away: the country of Himalaya - Nepal!
