I took the ferry from Hong Kong island to Lamma island. The ride was about 30 minutes but cost only about $2. On the water you see lots of big boats but also some small junk boats.
The ferry arrives at the small fishing village of Yung Shue Wan. It was a nice change from the big city hussle and bussle. The only vehicles around were small special truck like contraptions.
The beaches and scenary were very pretty but the signs advised again getting into the water.
I hiked the approximate three miles to another village. Along the way were a couple of these Kamakaze Grottos. During the war the Japanese prepared these holes that could potentially be used as a base to attack the Allied forces.
This is the village I hiked to, named Sok kwu Wan.
There were lots of aquariums with live seafood. This squid may have made it to a lunch plate sometime that afternoon.
I had a four course dinner for about $13. The first course was these delicious shrimp. After lunch I walked back to the first village, a total of about six miles of hiking for the day. It was refreshing to get away from the city. I also met an interesting man from the UK and we hiked together and had lunch together. After a week with virtually no English one get hungry for conversation. Tomorrow morning I leave for Osaka, Japan.
