Lamma Island

Lamma Island is located about half an hour by ferry from downtown Hong Kong. During the time I was awake on the ferry I remember the entire ferry yelling because we went over a wave created by a much bigger boat who had passed by. Nevertheless, this somehow put me to sleep and before I knew it we had arrived at Sok Kwu Wan. When we arrived I was wearing a jacket, a beanie, and jeans expecting it to be as cold as it is in Hong Kong, but of course it was around 80 degrees and after a couple miles of hiking I was exhausted. I eventually gave in and took my beanie and jacket off. The trail on the island was very easy to follow because of the concrete sidewalk and because of all the signs pointing towards our destination. On the island, bicycles are the mode of transport and there are absolutely no cars! Besides all the beautiful scenery, not needing to worry about crossing any streets in Hong Kong was relaxing enough. There were also no skyscrapers and all buildings were low-rise. After about two hours of walking and taking breaks we had made it to Yung Shue Wan. Yung Shue Wan is  famous for it's sea food and I was not disappointed. The garlic prawns, clams, and deep-fried squid were better then any sea food I have ever had. I will definitely be back to Lamma and I am glad to know if I ever wanted to escape Hong Kong's fast-paced and crowded lifestyle for a day or two I'd have the option to. *(The names in this post can be interchanged, I actually have no idea where we started at first.) :)
