A day out to Lantau Island

There was a wedding party in the Hotel and we were woken to sound of a lot of giggling girls getting ready as bridesmaids, anyway they soon left.

We decided to go to Lantau Island and see the Big Buddha and so we left by the Discovery Bay ferry and upon arrival at Discovery we noticed how it had changed since our last visit. It was a new quiet resort, but not any more, it’s a vast housing area even perhaps a new town.
From here we caught the bus to Tung Che to catch the overhead cable car out to the Buddha. Noel is not happy on Cable Cars particularly as he was aware that some while ago a car fell of the cable but thank god nobody died. Anyway we went on it and there some amazing views of the Hong Kong Airport and Lantau Island, which is considerably bigger than Hong Kong Island, and you are really travelling very high up,very scary. Noel closed his eyes and drank large volumes of a medicine called Brandy. . We reached The Buddha and walked around the Temple before leaving for Tai O a small fishing Village. This was a very quiet place with usual hawkers offering boat rides etc to see the pink Dolphin.

We took the bus to Silvermine Bay(Mia Wo) and the ferry from there back to Central.
Dinner that night was with an office colleague of Noels and we went to Lan KwaiFong a busy nightlife area just above central and tested some xcellent Tapas
