Yesterday we decided to take a trip to see the Bhudda on Lantau island, we were all looking forward to it after a hard and frustrating week. 9 o'clock we set off and arrived at railway station at around 9:20.
The view from
Got down to Hong Kong and took star ferry to central and from there a ferry to Mui Wo town on Lantau island. From here a bus to the Bhudda up and down winding mountain roads. This monument is really very impressive, see pics. To get to the top we had to climb 301 steps, these steps are becoming an obsession !!!!
The view from
the top is amazing,
it was difficult to get
a shot that captures
it properly, see pic.
From there to the monastery next door, beautiful building, but you can't go inside.
Took the bus back to the ferry and back to HK. I will tell more of this journey in a later post.
Song for the day : Ferry cross the Mersey, Gerry and the Pacemakers. It's the only song I could think of with ferry in it !!
