The last 10km or so up to Cape Hedo (辺戸岬) is a very nice stretch of seaside road.

The same road on the way back, driving into the sunset.

For those looking for hotels in the Naha area, make sure the parking space is wide enough for the Emira. The parking carousel in the Richmond Hotel Naha Kumoji (リッチモンドホテル那覇久茂地) was too narrow, but fortunately we were able to book the two flat parking spots available.

Pineapple Park in Nago is a must-see (in my opinion), but the access road into the parking lot may not be for lowered cars. No problem with the OEM setup Emira.

When the sun finally came out on Saturday, we had 20 or so Lotus cars driving towards Kouri Island (古宇利島). This is just some boring footage that I just couldn't get myself to delete. The weather was nice.

I never delete my dashcam footage from road trips, I just transfer it to my home drive/storage & keep it. I occasionally go back and re-watch the good bits - It's more interesting than just the normal holiday snaps.

LOL @7:30 - all the school kids and all the teachers too staring at the cars.

Two tunnel runs and no revving!

The boat is safely moored in Tokyo. Gotta go pick her up.

Welcome home !

Retrieved footage from the GoPro I had left in the car. On our last day, we drove to the port:


Drove the cars onto the pallets:


The pallets were then fork lifted onto a flatbed truck and driven around to the other side of the port where the ship was moored:

(unedited footage - skip the boring parts!)

Unfortunately, the camera overheated in the sun, and was unable to capture footage of the car being carried into the hull of the ship
