Beach day

Ed and I wanted to show Todd our favourite hangouts in Cheung Chau.

We jumped on the ferry early one morning and headed off to the island.

Any trip to Cheung Chau makes me happy.  I feel that whenever I'm on the island, I've not only stepped back in time, but I've been able to step away from many of the stresses and concerns of life in Hong Kong.  There's a simpler way to life and a sleepiness to the place that I love.

We took the long way around.  We didn't go direct to the beach, but instead wandered through the small winding streets of the town.

We went over the the top and through the forests and came around the other side of the beach we normally spent out weekends.  A longer walk, but far more enjoyable.

At the beach itself, we hired some chairs and lay down.

Coming in and out of the water, snacking, drinking.

All of this, and only a thirty minute ferry ride from the heart of Hong Kong.
