Beach

We went to the beach on Sunday.  The first time in years. I'm not over keen on Japanese beaches, they all seem to be dirty, over crowded and full of idiots that think throwing beer bottles on the beach is the right way to dispose of them.  But Hannah really wanted to go.  The last time she went she was only 2 years old and doesn't remember.  So early Sunday morning I packed a few sandwiches, snacks and bottles of water and headed to Keya Beach.  It took about 2 hours drive to get there. We arrived just after 9 o'clock, there were already a lot of people  there and already very hot!!  We paid to sit at table in the shade.  It was the same place we used 8 years ago, the guy running the place remembered us.  That was nice!





The place we rented a space from, the service is good, free showers with hot water!!

Nobody was swimming, the boys weren't interested and poor Hannah, who really wanted to swim, still had a bad cough and I didn't want to risk her getting any sicker.  We spent about 2hours there, everybody, except Christopher, had a little paddle.  Hannah got her first shaved ice, I think that was the highlight for her.



Shaved ice!!!!!

We left at a good time, as we were driving away a big party of young adults arrived, and cars were backed up for a while.  Nice day out, but somehow exhausting!

Few random photos from the day.
