Okayama Bira




A few weekends back I went to a villa (or in Japanese, a bi-ra) on Shiraishi island in Okyama prefecture. It took a good while to get there, and even involved a ferry, but in the end it was a fantastic 2 1/2 days on a tiny island. The population is largely made up of people over 60 and I think there are about 8 cars on the whole island. Gabrielle and I showed up early enough to drink some red wine while watching the sunset on Friday. Saturday Gabrielle Paul and I biked around the island and I stayed late with Paul, Caoimhe and Kim on Sunday enjoying beach side beer. That's pretty much all we did, very excellent and very relaxing. (Well, aside from the town alarm clock/public broadcasting that goes off at 6am every day...)
