Arriving in Ishigaki

Airport shuttle to Haneda

We're on Ishigaki Island!! 
We arrived on the Okinawan Island yesterday evening after spending some time at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and a short three hour flight. Checkout was at 11am and our flight was at quarter past two in the afternoon. We checked in and then went to explore the airport's "market place", which turned out to be a 6 floor deal, with various restaurants and designer shops. The boys and dad went to sit in the Starbucks while mum and I had a look around but we soon went to join them. The Japanese Starbucks menu had a few interesting Japanese options and I picked a "Coffee Jelly", which turned out to be a very sweet latte with bits of coffee jelly and whipped cream. The drink itself was waaaaay to sweet but if you smashed the jelly bits with your straw so you got bits of it with the latte, it was actually really nice.

Actually it's so we do something semi-useful while we're on holiday. Also - this way, when we're asked by family members and other nosy people what we got up to this summer, we won't have to tell the same stories again and again and again. (Well... we might anyway)
