Sweating it out!

This morning we went to a bougie coffee shop and tried some new flavour combinations near where J and G live.

Plus a 10% surcharge. Approx $75NZ!!!

Then we had to walk it off!!

We walked to a nearby wetland area. It is quietly being overtaken by development which is a shame. A number of people were riding bikes through and it seemed some were living in pretty rough accommodation. We paid $8HK each for a man to row us across a small estuary in a very rickety wooden boat.

It’s sad to see so much rubbish lying around. Still a lot of education is needed in much of Asia. One open area was being used by a group flying model jet planes and helicopters and further along some power boats in a pond. The boys saw a snake but it was too quick for me to see. Also a variety of heron and other native birds.

It’s amazing to have so much green area with skyscrapers so close by.

It was very humid and hot work despite being flat. After almost 7kms we took the uber option back. The air conditioning in the car was sheer joy!

We were even closer to China today.
