hongkong: day 2 of 6, LAMMA island
Of course, how could any of my trips be without much walking right? And especially so in HongKong where there are many well marked trails available, we just had to do some hiking.
Lamma Island is somewhere where you would like to escape to from the hustle and bustle of city life in HongKong.
Tin Hau Temple
Lamma Winds
The road up Lamma Winds were steep and long. But the view up at the top was definitely worth it, if the soothing wind that made the wind turbine feasible did not. Another thing that should not be missed is the fresh seafood dinner right by the sea.

The wait for the ferry back to Hong Kong Island was torturous. By nightfall, the soothing wind had turned chilly and did not fail to raise every single hair on one’s arm.

Lan Kwai Fong next. We tried Jello-shot, a alcohol laden jelly packaged in giant plastic syringes. The taste was terrible – with every shot in your mouth, you get the alcohol vapours right at your nostrils. The track mix at the club on the opposite street however, did wonders. It had been quite some time since I stepped into a club, and with MTR services till late, we grooved the night away.
