Cheung Chau
Today we made our way to Cheung Chau Island about 35 min fast ferry from HK island. When we woke up this morning it was pouring rain. A few days ago I had done some research on the directions of how to get to Bethany (the place where we are staying) you need to walk up a very steep hill about 1km, I think that it would have been ok, but when we get off the ferry it is still raining heavily. So I carry Ashah, and Matt has both our bags, and we only have 1 umbrella. I thought at one point I was going to pass out, rain pouring down on Ash and I with Alex trying his very best to follow us with the umbrella so we wouldn't get wet, and Matt getting soaked. I can't tell you how relieved we were when we finally arrived. Where we are now is a christian retreat, it is really beautiful and a great place to relax. We are right at the top of the Island, and if it wasn't so overcast and raining I'm sure we would have a fantastic view. But the room is very comfortable and they have a lounge where the kids can play. Hopefully in the next day or so it will clear up and we can get around a bit. Its nice though, to be warm and chill out in our room.

Hey Pingitores,
ReplyDeleteTravel can be so variable can't it. You never know what will happen next.
Glad you made it up there in the end, OK.
Enjoy your nice retreat, sounds really good.
You will inspire many travels from this trip, I think.
God bless you all,
David.
