Discovery Bay to Mui Wo

My Sunday outing started with this fancy ferry to Discovery Bay:

You don't have to go far from the luxury of DB to find more "traditional" housing:

I'm on the right path...

DB to Mui Wo is a fairly short 6km walk and not too challenging. The high point is this pagoda. The main problem was that my legs were still tired from the conquest of Hsien Ku Fung last Sunday...

Soon after, Mui Wo comes into view:

Dragon boat on Silvermine Beach:

Lunch al fresco at the China Bear pub:

And home by "economy class" ferry:

Weekend is here

Last night I went to dinner at Heaven on Earth with one of my colleagues. It's on Knutsford Terrace, which is very lively on Friday night. This is Kimberley Road nearby -

Today I had lunch with Eric and Karen who used to work with me. They were on good form and we had a fun time. We ate dim sum at Lei Garden (I am eating like a local!). I gave Eric a reference for a new job as Adidas is downsizing in HK and he has to move on.

This afternoon I went to the pool. It was nice and sunny today but a bit windy up there on the 76th floor. I read "8 Things We Hate About IT" from cover to cover on my sun lounger. Now having apero and wondering which Chinese restaurant to go to for dinner...

Views

The weather has improved and I got back the view from room 3303:

This is the view from the General Mills office of the runway of the old Kai Tak aiport:

This is what it looked like in the old days (photo from a web site):

Did a nice hike this morning in the New Territories

But it was cloudy and muddy. This is a 511m peak with

a great view - apparently. All we saw was clouds.

A bit better later on
