Dirk Takes a Few Selfies

Dear Great Ones,

Hong Kong is so great.  On November 7 Celia and I went on one of our favorite hikes.  It is is in Sai Kung park and starts from a place called Pak Tam Au to Ham Tin beach.  Its a beauty and I took a few selfies to show you why:  

The start of the hike has a quality facility so one does not have to resort to venture in the jungle when nature calls.

The paved trail goes through a jungle, which is lovely but my wife is more so.

An Asian phenomenon.  Using umbrellas to ward off the sun as well as the rain.  One sees a lot of that on a sunny day in Asia.

Great views.

Interesting ghost town is along the way.

A neat lagoon.

And to develop your fitness there is a massive hill to get you huffing and puffing.

No pain no gain.

Getting to the top of this monster hill is a great relief.

The view of Ham Tin beach from the hill is a beauty.

At the bottom of the hill is a mini restaurant that will provide a much needed cool drink.

Hibiscus in full bloom.

The buildings of the little village along the way are cool.

Near the beach are wetlands.  My Asian wife is doing a very asian thing.  Using an umbrella to ward off the sun.

After a good solid one and half to two hour hike one arrives at sweet Ham Tin beach.

A couple of establishments serve up local food at a reasonable price.

The "famous" Ham Tin bridge, over a little lagoon to the main beach.

Ham Tin beach is massive 

The scenery is great.

The water on Nov 7 was perfect.

Sweet happy times.

The boat ride later to Sai Kung town is a roller coaster ride.  Great action, but a little scary.  Better than hiking back however.  

Have a great week everyone.

Love adios and ping on!

Dirk
