NAHA: Okinawa
During our time in Okinawa, we immersed ourselves in the island’s rich culture and traditions. A standout experience was our visit to the Tsuboya Pottery Museum, where we explored the history and artistry of Okinawan ceramics. The museum showcased beautiful examples of yachimun pottery, and we gained a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations.
Another memorable part of the trip was our search for our own Shisa—the iconic guardian lion-dog statues that are believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune. We wandered through local shops and pottery studios, each offering unique interpretations of Shisa, until we found the perfect pair to take home as a symbol of protection and good luck.

Japan – South Korea – Taiwan 2025
Let’s face it we have worked hard all out lives, sacrificed a lot willingly, but for the last few years Darren and I have made it a mission to see the world while we are still fit and healthy. We leave family and friends for a while and go exploring for adventure, to embrace new cultures and meet new people.
We find cruising perfect for this – unpack once, don’t need to think about what we are doing for dinner, cocktails on tap, sea days to relax, meet people around the trivia tables, dissolve into pools and experience great shows every night – all while they ferry us from one exciting destination to the next.
This year’s big holiday involved back-to-back cruises on the Diamond Princess to Japan (not our first visit) and 2 new destinations Busan in South Korea and Taipei in Taiwan. Here’s a sample of our experiences.
