Hello Great People,
Big Wave Bay (BWB) is great. It is a small village with a splendid, well maintained beach and like its name suggests, there are days when the waves are big and fun to ride. On Saturday I took the girls, Elsie and Noelle to BWB and they loved it. The journey to BWB is rather fun too. First there is a 15 minute hike through the neighbourhood to the Kowloon Bay pier. The older buildings in my neighborhood were only allowed to be built to a certain height due to their proximity to the old airport. Once that was shut down and the airport moved to Lantau island new buildings like my Skytower were built and they tower over the old pre new airport relics like redwoods to pieces of grass.
After getting to the Kowloon pier we hopped on a ferry for a 12 minute ride across Victoria Bay to Hong Kong. Once there you have to pass through a fish market. It is very interesting if you can stand the smell. After a four stop subway ride you alight onto a bus terminus and grab the number 9 for a harrowing ride on an impossibly narrow road that winds along the edge of a jungle covered cliff. Then the bus plunges down to sea level where you alight on a lovely tree lined road. After a pleasant 15 minute hike one finally alights onto the beach of Big Wave Bay. After setting up base camp and renting a body board for about 20 dollars Hong Kong about 2 bucks Canadian you are ready to ride the surf. Great fun.
On a random note the next day we went for a bike ride and encountered Woody, Buzz Light Year, and little Aliens. Pixar has a show going on at the Heritage museum. Typical Hong Kong. Expect the unexpected and bizarre.
Till Next Time,
Love Adios and Peng On
