We all have our own choice of cereal and yogurt or milk to accompany the fresh fruit
.Later we caught a mini bus to Mong Kok, a train to Central and a ferry to Cheung Chau Island.
Cheung Chau Island has a population of 33,000 and no cars at all. Most people travel by bicycle. It is a lovely touristy place to visit.
We had a meal with a picturesque view across the harbour. A mix of prawns, rice and scallops, which we all shared. It was a very good meal. We walked down to the beach and watched the wind surfers. The beach area for swimming had a shark net round it for safety. 
Ricky went fishing again and Catriona and I sat in the Cheung Chau Yacht club bar and looked across to Central. After that we visited the local temple and walked through the market area. We stopped to admire a life size model of a blue taxi cab and a small fishing boat. On closer inspection 
we realized that both were actually made of cardboard and had been cleverly covered with coloured paper. There was a photo of an old man in the passenger seat of both. These models were part of a funeral ritual and many people wearing white hoods were standing in rows and praying.When we came home we took a ferry back to Central and then the Star Ferry to TST. The Star Ferry has been running for 140 years. We caught the train to Yau Ma Tei and caught a mini bus back to Sai Kung.
We seem to travel differently on the return journey as we do when we go somewhere. I find that very confusing.
