Gumbies: August 2005
http://vibromama.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2005. Getting to these islands was not an easy matter, first we had to take the ferry from Ushibuka to Nagashima, drive south to Kushikino City, and then take a very long ferry ride to the islands. Not only was it a long journey, but a fairly pricey one; that is to say, money well spent! What an amazing place. We loved it; beautiful clean sea, lots of fish, spectacular scenery, steep mountains, friendly people and perhaps best of all very beautiful rock. The red sandstone rock was f...

Gumbies: September 2005

Tuesday, September 13, 2005. Okinawa to Amami traverse PART 2. Today, the island's inhabitants struggle to make a living growing sugar cane on the island’s barren ‘akatsuchi’, or red soil. Water is scarce, and in the summertime it only rains during typhoons, which of course wreak their own damage on the crops. There had been no typhoons yet this year, and the land was hot and parched as we walked the kilometer or so to the tiny town of Sumiyoshi (Good Living). Posted by Leanne and Rik Brezina at 10:50 pm.

Tuesday, January 25, 2005. Winter trip to Okinawa- the mini does the job! Originally uploaded by vibromama. With the sea surrounding us on all sides, living on an island in Japan compelled us to purchase two second hand sea kayaks. With a weekend full of instruction on technique, rescue and safety, some kayak books bought and skimmed through, we strapped our 5 meter kayaks on top of our Mitsubishi 660cc mini car and embarked on a zealous adventure to the southern islands in Okinawa prefecture. The climat...
