A Stairway

This was the set of stairs that we had to climb to get into the Shurijo Castle grounds. The Castle is high up on a hill, overlooking Okinawa. surrounded by stone walls. Not much of a climb really, and besides, it was worth it to see some of the treasures inside.

The walk that we did to lunch through the garden at the Chinzanso Hotel was down hill. We started at the top and followed our guide down the path. That meant that the walk back to our bus at the top was up-hill, including this stairway.

We needed the walk back as lunch was delicious and very filling. Japanese BBQ including onions, carrots, okra, sweet potato, red capsicum and thin morsels of meat all cooked on a flat topped BBQ in the center of our table. The staff cooked for us this time, and all was served with steamed rice.

Still in the garden of the tea house, a set of stairs leading up and around the garden to view the lake from the other side.
