Day 48, HK

Lazy breakfast around the corner around 10:00 helped to wake me up, warm and getting humid outside. Climate suits me fine, even the humidity is OK. Worst part is the aircon everybody is using and the favorite setting seems to be 16′.

Back in the Hostel five of us decided to pay Lamma island a visit and off we went to Central with the tube and then on via ferry boat.
Pretty little island, only 20 min or so off HK island. Small village by the docks and what seemed to be an established walking route starting from here.

Soon found a nice beach and went for a refreshing swim in the sea – is this the South Chineese Sea? No idea, need to look it up. They even had fresh water showers installed, so loved it.

We decided to find a temple which was meant to be a little more east from the beach and went on despite sun getting hot now. We saw a lot of BIG spiders- tried to take a picture, but with the iphone that meant holding it really close. Did the best I could – hair at the back of my head all up – the things were the size of my hand!

Just before we had to admit that we had gotten lost, I got startled by a really substanstial snake about 2m next to me – size if an average cobra, but black?
In the end we persuaded a fisher man to give us a ride on his boat around the island back to the port 😉

Had a good meal before catching the ferry back – sea food galore.

After a brief rest in the hostel, 7 of us went out to enjoy food on the night market again, don’t get tired of it – especially after russia’s borsch and variaties of goulash.
