Aha Falls

2007-03-31T19:17:00.000-07:00

At the very most tip of Okinawa Island is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen, Aha Falls. Our trip started off with 2 hours of driving on the Okinawa Expressway & hwy 58 to the northern part of the island, Nago. Nago is more jungle and Naha (southern part of the island) is more rural, city like. There are so many beautiful sights for the eyes in Nago. The jungle here is so thick with trees and plants. When we arrived at Aha Falls we took a little hike to get to it. Now when I say hike I mean more like propelling down with ropes haha. It's a very steep way down and there aren't any steps for you to balance yourself on just roots, clay and ropes that others have put there to help you on your way down. Then through the trees you can here the falls. It's very open and quietly beautiful! I spent 30 minutes just looking up at the trees and exploring around the rocks. Then I jumped into the ice cold water which nearly took the breath right out of me! It was wonderfully refreshing. As Josh and some of his friends swung off the ropes into the icey deep :) I wandered around getting pictures of flowers, plants and animals. Most of the animals I saw were mainly spiders and butterflys. There weren't many flowers but I did get some pics. At the end of the day as we climbed are way back up the steep jungle :) I was pretty pooped out. Now I sit here and think to myself, thats what I will miss about Okinawa.....it's beautiful landscape, the waterfalls, the NATURE! It's breathtaking! Here are some pics I managed to take at the falls.

Just wanted to share these pics with ya'll! This is why I love Okinawa! The beautiful nature, it's what keeps me sane living here, haha. God Bless

3RD Anniversary (June 27th, 2006)

These are pics some our 3rd anniversary. We stayed a night at Okuma Resort, had a romantic dinner there and hiked to Hiji Falls! Okuma is so much fun, it's beautiful! There's alot of golf courses for the avid golfer and 2 beaches. We stayed in a cabana right next to the beach. It was 55$ for one night and the room was small but we still had a great time. We watched movies, snorkled some and went to eat at the Surfside resturant. Josh had a 26$ steak and lobster combo and I had a New Yorker steak! Plus wine and pie! Then we went to Hiji Falls which is about a 10 min drive to the parking area, then it's a 40-45min HARD hike up and down stairs throughout the Okinawan jungle. You'll feel like you can't walk anymore and then.....there it is....Hiji Falls. It's about 30 meters high with a small COLD pool at the bottom. The water is cool spring water and clear as can be! Not many people were swimming but Josh and I jumped right in! It was breathtaking! We might go there for 4th of July weekend as well! God Bless

Some pics of me may look like I'm tired but it's just my mascara running....that'll teach me to wear mascara to the beach! haha
The pics are mixed up but you should be able to tell the difference between the beach and the falls :)
