And now to Wednesday, August 1. Plans changed since Ralph had work to do, so Renee, one of the students, was my guide for the day. We started out at 8:30 and took a cab to the ferry terminal for
Cheung Chau Island.
 |
| A little shop at the terminal. We picked up some water, since it was supposed to be 91 today. |
 |
| The ferry was very comfortable and we sat up top to get the best views |
 |
| We sailed past the cruise ship terminals |
 |
| Container ships were in the harbor. It was really hazy and we were afraid a storm might be coming. |
 |
| We passed lots of little islands on the way, some inhabited, some not. Most of these islands are made of volcanic rock and granite - very stable.
Our trip took only about half an hour and we had great views of the fishing boats as we came into the harbor.
This is a fishing village that has no cars. There are many bicycles and motorized little shuttles that are used by businesses. It is a nice tourist spot for Hong Kongers and there were lots of teens going to camp and other visitors. There were permanent residents, as well, and it was nice to see all ages. The fishermen go out at night so most of the boats were docked. There were many great seafood restaurants.
Pictures are not cooperating so I will start a new section.
