Love the pictures. Brings back many fond memories. Here is a picture I took at what we called "Irie Beach" which is where I think you took your picture from. It is in front of Hikaro Guest House. I took this picture in 2001.

Pictures from an old, cheap disposable camera so nothing to compare with yours but the vibe was probably about the same.

More pictures please.
