Well, here are some picture of the grocery store, and some of the hotels and beaches! The water color is just unreal! I can't describe it. Far out in the distance by the barrier reefs, you can see waves. But the water near the show is a green color and very shallow. Tons of Japanese tourists here.
The grocery store was big sticker shock. One gallon of spring water (69 cents at home) is $2.75 here!!!!! Yikes! We are going to have a big water bill. Milk is over $5.00 a gallon! Bread is $5.00 a loaf! Bagged Malt-o-Meal cereal is $9.00 for one bag!!!! You can see me with the grocery cart. That little bit of stuff in the cart cost over $70!! It would have cost $400+ to fill the cart like we do at home!
Werner was happy to see that they had a nice supply of good German beers! Expensive, but available at least!
We were going to set up my cell phone, but they wanted $39.95 for an 80-minute SIM card. That's ridiculous, so we bagged that idea.
Anyhow, the first day we visited the beautiful Nippon Hotel resort. Then today, at 8 am, Herta our German host took us to the Sheraton for a water aerobics class. We swam at 8 am outside. Unreal! Very refreshing, and again, lots of nice people, beautiful views, and Japanese tourists!
Time to leave the internet cafe for now! Please keep checking back for more!
Love, Werner and Lori
P.S. Clarhens and Hannah, we miss you and love you! Hope you are having fun with Miss Nancy!
