sea in Japan

Here I tell you a part of my journey three years ago in Japan, where I went on over Okinawa. The island is famous for the Japanese-American war, but rather ugly, to be such a natural paradise.

If you take a ferry (because we do not have too much time) right from Okinawa, enjoy a wonderful trip among the Islands (jima, as they say in Japanese). Point to the southwest, the nearest are Kerama, Tokashiki, Zamami and Aka. For Kume need more time. Or a small flight. Continue reading “Let’s go to the sea in Japan”

Bundera Bundera in Australia

Bundera Bundera

A long coastline that stretches softly on the horizon, fine white sand, dotted with the remains of the storms, the crystal clear water of the sea, which turns on all the colors of the blue and blue. A pristine coastline, dream beaches.

Bundera Bundera

We are in Australia, the state of Western Australia, and then over the waters of the Indian Ocean, and Bundera is not a country, a village, four houses on a cross road junction; none of this, but only a name, a name given to indicate a place. In this case, because it serves to indicate, about a kilometer from the coast, a sinkhole, a karst cave full of sea water.

So no bar, no plant, no parking, because we are in a protected natural park, the Cape Range National Park in Western Australia, which more recently has added the Ningaloo Reef, the reef front, suddenly Sea known for sightings to (harmless) whale sharks.

The opposite coast to Bundera Bundera, is a series of bays and coves, some protected, some accessible, including camping, hiking (the area is inhabited by the red kangaroo and wallaby) or snorkeling.

Maruata is still out of this world, even if things do not remain so for long, and perhaps in this case, one might say, unfortunately. The first paved road came in 1980, electricity in 1996, and the first link, the first restaurant and the first brick houses, rented to tourists more enterprising for 300 pesos by the inhabitants, mostly belonging to the indigenous community of the Nahua, what remains of the ancient Aztecs.

Maruata beach

We are on the coast of Michoacan, in the central part of Mexico, one that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, yet out of the most frequented tourist routes, and this (or because of this), still largely untouched. Manuata, a small fishing village, is located about 800 kilometers west of Mexico City, 500 kilometers north of Acapulco, and 100 miles south of Manzanillo.
