On Saturday we took the bus to Stanley. Hadn't been for ages.
Alex and Callum arrived. Went to Ding Dim 1968 for dumplings. Then Alex and I did a yoga class together, and finished the night by walking through Tai Kwun.
On Thursday morning I put them on the Airport Express for their flight back to Sydney.
Next weekend went for a hike I hadn't done before - Discovery Bay to Mui Wo. Caught the ferry to Discovery Bay which is 25 minutes. Turned left out of the ferry terminal and started walking. Pretty straightforward but some long climbs involved. Wasn't a great day from an air quality point of view, but the temperature was pleasant.
Walked through a couple of villages and farms on the way...
Past a couple of beaches...
Chapel and the buddhist monastery...
Was paved paths all the way. At the highest point...
On the way down into Mui Wo...
