Monday -itis

Today Jonny and Grace had the day off. Jonny was sick – not!

We trained to Lantau Island, then bused to Tai O fishing village, famous for its historic stilt houses. The village was pristinely clean with little shops selling dried fish products.

They dry all the fish bits.

A hot climb up the hill showed us the entry and exit to the underwater tunnel to Macao and China.

Cemetery in the valley

The bridge/tunnel runs for 55 kms with 6.7kms under water.

Frozen mango and pineapple

Along the way we passed two correctional facilities. Cows wander freely and are sacred.

Our afternoon was spent at Lower Cheung Beach nearby. The water was so warm I needed a cold shower to cool down!

Lovely white sand

We enjoyed balmy evening weather for our dinner. Pretty quiet being a Monday. Beautiful meal.

5 baby swallows

Another great day, and lovely to have the sea breeze to cool our 32 degrees temperature.

    I remember flying over the underwater entrance wondering what it was. Wild architecture!
