2016-09-30 Day 4 (Friday): Twin Peaks Walk















Aiysha: After the relaxing tour to Lantau yesterday, Uncle Dave decided to take up on a walk in the hills! The main reason why I wanted to go was so I could go shopping in Stanley at the end of the walk. I didn't have a clue that we'd be going so high!

The views were absolutely amazing, and it was actually quite cool at the top of the hills. There were some amazing bird spiders along the way, and some pretty fierce ants!

Thanks Dave!

Clara: I loved the walk - it was sooo cool at the top, but quite hard going up all those steps!

S: Another lovely French breakfast for everyone at Lift House!

Amazing walk, and perfect setting! Love it! Next time we'll do both peaks!

After the walk, and after some dim sum, we decided to leave the girls to go shopping while we went to play some tennis. We were meant to meet them after tennis by the pool, but they never came! We eventually met them back at the flat, and from there we went to meet Kee at the Chilli Club for an amazing chilli crab dinner!

C: We met an amazingly inspirational man at the minibus stop, and we were so interested in his story that we missed out stop! Ah well, it was so nice to meet him - he was 88, and looked in his 60s. He was so funny, and put a lot of perspective on life. Can't wait to tell everyone!

2016-09-29 Day 3 (Thursday): Cable Car to Lantau Buddha





Aiysha: This trip was sooo much fun! We took the MTR to the start of the cable car, and it was the most amazing ride ever! The cable car went over the biggest mountains, and it was pretty scary stuff!

Once we got there Dad a look around the shops, and then Dad tried to do some bargaining for Mummy - fail! We then walked up to the Buddha, and tried to get onto the top level, but failed! It was such a fun trip, and amazing to see HK like this - I don't remember anything from last time!

When we came back we went to watch Uncle Dave coach his girls rugby team - it was funny seeing him coach, and listening to all his funny names for moves - "Black Chicken", "Razor"! Dad and Uncle Dave also kicked the ball around, which was pretty cool. We went for a lovely dinner at the Football Club after.

Clara: I loved taking pictures using Daddy's camera. I loved climbing up to the Buddha, and the cable car ride was amazing! We played a bit of sweet and sour, which was funny.

C: Amazing trip - what a second day!

We found a french bakery on the way back yesterday, so we decided to get breakfast, and bring it to Grandad - lovely croissants and baguettes!

S: Fantastic day, and the cable car ride was so funny! Great to kick the ball around too!
