Lamma Island, Hong Kong, China - 20th August 2001
The last day-trip before returning to the UK is a trip to Lamma Island - not far from Hong Kong itself. We get the ferry to Yung Shue Wan on one side of the island, and trek across the hills in 35°C heat and 100% humidity to reach Sok Kwo Wan a few hours later, for a bit of a seafood feast at the "Lamma Hilton", one of several restaurants along the waterfront. The choice of restaurant was more due to the entertainment provided by the owner, who was touting for business from any hapless passer-by, rather than any informed choice. As it turned out though it did do good food.

The closest thing to a real Chinese Junk so far
Makeshift rafts
The pleasant little village of Yung Shue Wan
Yung Shue Wan
The leafy streets of Yung Shue Wan
A big scary statue
Incense pots and a shrine
A flight of steps
A random view of the village
Lots of swimmers bob about
On the beach
An entertaining use of English
Another shrine
DH considers the scenery
Walkers with umbrellas pass us by
A self-timer photo in a small pagoda in the hills
The pagoda
Looking down on the village of Sok Kwo Wan
Down on the mudflats
Inside the Lamma Hilton
The ferry at the pier
Nosher and DH dig into to a seafood-fest
A woman ferries herself around on a cardboard box
A view of the floating village
A man on the pier
The Lamma Hilton
Another view of the Lamma Hilton's tables
Hint: you can use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between albums, and between photos when in the photo viewer
