Outdoor week end.

Before the rain started this Monday, we were blessed with an amazing week end. It was hot but not as humid as normal, so we took the opportunity to go to Lantau Island on Saturday to visit the biggest stilt fishing villang in Hong Kong once again; Tai O.
Is is plased on the south west coast of the island, and is an amazing ans exciting place to visit. We've been there before but it is always worth a visit. Here some photo impressions.After walking around in the village, eat the obligatory seafood lunch and what ever you can do there, we let us in to a boat trip out to the open sea to have a look at the famous Pink Dolphines of Lantau. As the boat came out there there was no dolphines in sight, so I have to offer you some pictures I took of a big ship out there some where.
That wasn't that easy to do anyway, as the sea was in motion and we were on a small boat jumping up and down. But after some efforts I think I managed to get it like I intended to. Maybe later I will post some of the other efforts I did that day in the little motor boat, on the open waters just outside the Pearl River delta.
On the bus on the way back from Tai O, we were involved in a minor traffic accident. The road on south Lantau is very narrow with a lot of curves. Twice our bus had to stop and reverse a bit when we met another bus coming in the other direction from Mui Wo. Both times it went well, but a third time as we met an approaching Taxi, fortune wasn't with our friver and the driver of the Taxi. A loud chrash, and the bus stopped. Looking back through the rear window of the bus, we -all passengers- wittnessed the Taxi with a completely crushed front wheel and a missing part of the right side. As we could step out, we could see the missing part coming out from the left rear wheel of the bus, and the two drivers in a tense discussion in the middle of the road. Soon another bus came to pick us all up, and we left the two poor men -still discussing- alone on the remote south Lantau road, and we could heads towards our next destination that day; C heung Sha beach and the incredible "Stoeep" Restaurant, but that is another story.
