Iriomote - our second last stop. Iriomote is very different from the other islands we have visited.
90% of the mountaneous island is covered by dense jungle. The rivershores a mesh of wild mangrove forest. Definitely a treasure island.
Apparently not mapped until a hundred years ago - and until mid 1900 very unwelcoming due to malaria.
But 2008 is different.
We decided to sail up the river and then trek up to some famous waterfalls. A hot but satisfying trip.
Later, we enjoyed probably the best of our lodgings in Okinawa - beautiful view and peace and quiet.
