Rainy weather will not stop us when we have so much to see in Nara, Okinawa! We strolled through Kokusai-dori Street and the facades of the stores were amazing. After a while we jumped on their cute monorail and off we went to see Shuri Castle. Sadly we could only see the area where it was as it burned in 2019. It is being reconstructed and we think it will be done by 2026. The grounds were still impressive! Afterwards we did more strolling though the shopping arcades, a little lunch and a small but beautiful Chinese gardens on our way back to our ship. Another great port day aboard Holland America's Westerdam.
