4th of July Trip to Kume-jima

We spent our long 4th of July holiday weekend with Aaron & Masayo visiting Kume-jima, a well-inhabited island due east of Okinawa Island (about 100 km). After the ferry made a quick layover on Tonaki Island, we arrived only 4 hrs after departure at our destination. The first day consisted mostly of playing on the ferry & in the Kume port (waiting for a bus that never came before a port worker graciously gave us a lift):

But after checking in at the guest house (we basically had a nice-sized apartment all to ourselves) on the little island of Oo-jima, connected by bridge to the west coast of Kume-jima, we did have time to snorkel & play at one of Japan's top-rated beaches, Ifu (aka Eef) Beach: We slept well that night!
