There was a chance of rain today so we decided to postpone our snorkeling trip and head to Taketomi Island instead. Taketomi Island is a very small island with a population of 350 people and only 10 minutes by ferry from Ishigaki Island. Once we arrived at the island we rented bikes and headed straight to the beach. Kondoi beach is such a beautiful beach but suddenly there were grey skies and a huge downpour but since we were getting wet anyway it didnt really matter! It cleared up a little and then we went for a ride and found a cute cafe for lunch. After we headed towards the beach again but went to the star sand beach instead. This beach is also beautiful and you can find sand in the shape of stars - they are actually skeletons of coral but are really beautiful. We stayed here for awhile before going back to the port and catching a ferry back to Ishigaki Island. It was a Saturday night so we went out for dinner and then to a darts bar where we were the only ones!
