Friday Doug took the day off so we headed out for the day bright and early. We caught the quick ferry to Cheung Chau.
It's a good thing it was the quick ferry because it as at least a half hour wait and a half hour ride. The island is so cute. It's not huge and it's a fishing village gone commercial.
There are no cars on the entire island. So we just walked around and checked out the temple there.
The carvings were amazing.
Scaffolding of course! Lots of it.
Prep for the bun festival.
After we went through the temple we continued walking right through the heart of the island and got to the beach on the other side.
The beach is the home to some of the most ancient rock carvings on earth. They are estimated to be 3000 years old. Super old and very cool.
We strolled back to the other side of the island and it was just pretty.
Lots of flowers and little doorstep shrines all along the way.
Once we got back to the other side Doug and Charisse took us to an Indian restaurant. I have to say we were a little reluctant. Okay maybe alot. But wow was it ever good.
We had garlic and butter Nan, butter chicken, beef Marsala, and veggie samosa with mint sauce. Can't even pick a favorite because we loved it all.
After the ferry back we took the big bus, mini bus and the MTR to Stanley Market on the other side of Victoria peak. It is a beautiful area. We had a quick McDonald's ice cream sundae and enjoyed the sights there. We passed a huge apple store on our way there.
We were home for an hour and it was time to run again.
The bling is sized and ready!! Happy 35th anniversary and thanks babe ;)
It took so long for the appraisal we rushed to the dock for the Aqua Luna harbor cruise on a traditional junk. Luckily we made it in time. It was just lovely. So beautiful out there and we timed it just in time for the Symphony of Lights.
The Symphony of Lights was so fun. We just loved it.
