Kylie and Jocelyn invited us to go along with some other teachers to Pui O for an afternoon at the beach.
From our place you take a taxi or bus to catch the train to Tung Chung and then take a bus which winds along the mountain side to Pui O which is on Lantau Island. |
A little village on the way to the beach. It's a beautiful trip winding up and down the mountain sides with views of the ocean and little villages nestled in the trees. |
It was quite hot that day so needed an umbrella to block the sun. This path leads through a back way to the beach. |
Beautiful flowers nestled in the grass. Don't know what they were. |
This is not so beautiful!! You need to watch your step along the path as the wild water buffaloes also use it!! |
We're still winding our way through the pasture. |
The beast who left the present on the sidewalk!! He owns a pair of sharp looking horns! |
Ahhhhhhh the ocean!! |
Looking for a spot under a tree, and some shade! |
Playing Frisbee! |
I think it's that way!! Have no idea what they were talking about! |
It felt so good to stand in the water and cool off! Should have brought our bathing suits! |
Pretty little shell! |
These guys were all digging for clams. |
Rachel doesn't like the feel of the sand on her feet so she wore her socks, and stayed close to her blanket!! |
Making sandcastles!! |
This is one of the prettiest beaches we've seen so far. The water is clean and so is the beach and has beautiful sand. You can camp here also. |
Important discussion!! |
Feels good to lay in the shade with the lovely cool breezes coming off the ocean! |
Rachel finally decided she would venture out onto the sand if she had her shoes on!! |
Looking for shells. |
The Ooh La La restaurant. They had really good food!! |
Inside the restaurant. Not too busy at two in the afternoon! From around 4 to midnight and later is when everything is hopping in Hong Kong!! |
This couple are from around Edmonton and this is their first year here. Their oldest daughter is the same age as Hunter and started kindergarten also. |
It's so relaxing to sit and watch the waves roll in. We were there early enough that there were hardly any people on the beach. |
If you were just looking at the front of the restaurant, it could be on any beach, but then you find little touches of Asia, which make it unique. |
We went a different route back to catch the bus and there was this little store where you could stock up on beach accessories! |
Beach houses and apartments along the main street. It's great to get out of the city and into such a pretty rural area. It's a great place to go for a relaxing day. |
