Life is a beach, biatch!

Today we set off for some sand and surf at a nearby beach. Well when I say nearby, I mean about an hours drive away from Shimabara. The only person with a car was Vusi so we had to fit 5 people into the tiniest two door K-car I have ever seen. It was also, yet another ridiculously hot-ass day in Kyushu, so us three girls sitting in the back seat were basically stuck to each other and struggling to breathe by the end of the ride (yes, yes, I know you guys out there reading this are probably enjoying yourself imagining three girls in bikinis sitting on top of each other, all hot and sweaty….trust me, it wasn’t all that much fun….and I normally enjoy those types of things). Luckily, cold seawater awaited us at then end of our journey and we all tripped over ourselves trying to get into the water as quickly as possible. The beach was beautiful! I will post some pics that I have…..but there aren’t too many (probably because I tried to claw the eyes out of anyone who took a picture that contained any part of my body in a tightass tankini). It was a great day for swimming and the water was cold and neither too calm, nor too turbulent. The beach had a sort of New Zeleand-Lord of the Rings type feel to it – huge cliff on one side, and mountains off in the distance, so I have to say its one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to. Also, the friendliness of the Japanese manifested itself again, as we were offered free beer and free food from fellow beach occupants. The only bad thing about the day was some sleazy ass staring from a non-japanese guy who kept coming too close to us girls and virtually putting his crown and jewels in our faces as we sat sunning ourselves. *Shudder*. Luckily there was plenty of water to wash off the dirty feeling.
