It's Hong Kong but not as I know it....

During the past few weeks, I have been able to travel to some parts of hong kong, that to me were unbelievable. The reason was not the polluted roads and the rudeness of the markets and the smell of street food on every corner. It was the beauty of the landscape and scenery that actually made me speechless, something my girlfriend finds a feat in itself. This my friends, was Hong Kong the way I would love it to be. Not to forget the gorgeous fresh air. Could I have really be in apart of Hong kong? This was the undiscovered world. The place or places I am mentioning is Tung lung island and a place called Wu Lai Teng. The first place was a little island. It was hard to remember that we were only a boat ride away from Sai Wan Ho. The weather that day was gorgeous which helped. But still you had to be there to experience it. We hiked what my girlfriend said was a short hike, in the book it looked quite small, but there is something to be said about referring to routes drawn in crayons with the child like style. Don't trust it. What should have been a 2 hour tour ended up being little bit more...and the weather? Sometimes too much of a good thing is not good for you. We found that the prices that the small stores there for drinks seemed extortionate but it made perfect sense, as the idea of ending up in hospital was something we didn't need and if we could avoid it we most definitely would. As we made our way round the hills taking photos and taking the fresh air. We couldn't help but notice the blazing sun getting much hotter. We only made a quarter of the way before we decided to try and get the early afternoon boat back. Somehow getting away from the island was our most important agenda. During the summer hiking is not really,something that you want to spend your time doing. But there are always a few daredevils, and it seemed some of them made there way here. Setting up camp right below the sun, is a recipe for something. We were happy walking round, enjoying the scenery, taking photos and taking in the fresh air, yes, all 4 hours of it. It seemed like we would have to come back in a. couple of months time to fully do the route suggested in he book. The book of pain, I am going to call it now. We got back to the flat, exhausted, tired and very tanned.
