Fishing Villiage: Tai O

Lantau Island: North Side

Enjoying a boat ride through the stilted homes
More homes
Out on the Ocean
Isaac was sleeping for most of the visit

A walk through the wet market


We then headed back to Hong Kong for some yummy Western food -
We couldn't find anything to eat in this village.

Po Lin

We finally made the trip to the Big Buddha at Po Lin

After a train ride to Tung Chung,
we road a cable car to Ngong Ping

The ride was 4 miles long and it stopped while we were hanging over the water.
The wind picked up and we started to swing. Scary.
The wind blew into the cable car so we had to bundle up.

The only picture with Oliver.
(still super windy)
Before the climb
After.
More statues on top.

Christmas in Hong Kong

We stayed in Soho, on Hong Kong Island.
Which is full of amazing resaurants - we all ate more than we should have.

The longest stretch of escalators
They run down in the morning and up in the evening.

(We learned that the hard way)

More of Soho


How Oliver enjoyed the view from the IFC tower
It was too dark to get a decent picture of the view,
if your interested, watch the movie Dark Night and it's the buidling where Batman jumps.
