Hiking with a view

TID BIT: if you click on "My Homepage" under my profile for Blogger, it will bring you to my facebook album for the trip with all of my photos...

Today, and I've decided every Sunday I'm in Hong Kong, we went hiking in the New Territories to find a beach. Although it took some time to get there, it was well worth it. Kind've like the greenbelt in Austin but not at all like that because it's on the side of a mountain with water over the edge... Hong Kong's Parks and Wildlife Department must have a lot of investment because this hiking trail was miles and miles long and paved! Crazy. NOTE: It's interesting how clean this country is despite its lack of trash cans. We took a cab to the start of the hiking trail and went about 30 minutes to this great beach in the middle of a bunch of mountains. The water was clear and clean and felt great. Next time we'll probably start earlier, stop at one of the erratic shack restaurants along the trail, hike further, and discover new beaches. We were lucky it didn't rain today. It's sad how polluted Hong Kong is though... because we were further away from the city it wasn't as bad but there's always a haze in the air, even on cloudless days.

Great day.
