Hong Kong Day 7 - Lamma Island

Today we slept in a bit and then got on the MTR to Wan Chai to meet up with Ana to go to Lamma Islands. On the way from the MTR to her apartment we stopped at Coco, a milk tea shop. We picked up drinks and then went over to wait at her apartment. We walked to a shop to buy a towel to use at the beach, and then got back on the MTR to go to Central/Hong Kong Station to get a ferry to the island. We took the Star Ferry to Lamma Island. It was about a 30 minute ferry ride.

The ferry arrived at Lamma Island around 12pm, and once there we started to walk through the town and stopped at a restaurant and had dim sum. There were a lot of shops on the island that were selling handmade items and other souvenir type things. We looked in a lot of the shops and a couple of people bought some things. After we saw the shops we walked across the island to the beach. The beach and area around the beach was pretty and there were a lot of people there and on the island in general. The water felt really good, but there was a lot of trash around so we didn't go in very far or for very long. After the beach we headed back to the ferry terminal and then back over to Hong Kong Island and our apartments.

We rested for a bit and then went to get dinner in the food court of a mall near our apartments. I got food from a Japanese shop. I chose a fried pork cutlet that was stuffed with creamed spinach. It also came with rice, cabbage salad with sesame dressing, and miso soup. After eating we stopped at a store in another mall, and headed back to our apartments. This was a long fun weekend, and we are back to work tomorrow. We will still be doing things in the evenings after we finish work.
