Outing to Outlying Island - Cheung Chau

YAY, Ah Ma and Kong Kong are here to visit!

Thought it would be a good idea to visit Cheung Chau island as we've never been...

It started drizzling the moment we got into the taxi to go to the Pier.

Decided to brave the rain and go ahead with our plans.

Caught a normal slow ferry to Cheung Chau... at this point, the rain looked like it was stopping so we were all in good spirits!

Arrived at Cheung Chau, but it was still drizzling...

Not too heavy, so we were fine to walk around with an umbrella.

Saw lots of little stalls selling all sorts of dried seafood, ie dried fish, prawns, shrimps... even dried starfish!

Guess this is one of the islands main source of income :)

There was a beach (Tung Wan Beach) on the other side of the island.

We decided to check it out as we heard there was a nice restaurant in a hotel nearby.

Well, it was really windy and cold by the beach, and worse.. the rain started getting heavier!

We took shelter in the hotel and had some dim sum for lunch whilst waiting for the rain to subside...

Here we are, walking by the beach to the hotel... lots of windsurfers in the sea!

After lunch, the rain still wasn't subsiding, so daddy bought me a new raincoat :)

Multitasking and eating a fishball whilst kong kong was buttoning my raincoat.

Greedy me ate the fishball in one bite! What's new, eh.

Ahhh.. nice and warm with the rain coat on.

Taking photo with the Ping An bun stall which wasn't open today.

The buns are usually sold during the bun festival in June.

Then, we walked back to the main street and had some seafood!

Ordered some salt n pepper calamari, lettuce, bamboo clams and steamed fish... yumyumm... that was lunch no 2 for us hahah.

I was fast asleep at this stage, so no lunch for me :(

Can you spot kong kong? Lots of fishing boats docked by the pier...

Main source of livelihood here?

Left Cheung Chau a couple of hours later, and took the fast ferry back to Central.

Decided to stop by IFC to grab a free balloon and also check out the new Apple store.

Largest Apple store in the world?

Tons of people milling around the store!

Tons of people inside the store!

And tons of people going upstairs to the second floor!

Not sure what the hype is? Arent't they are just selling the usual products available in any other Apple distributor store!

Headed home after that.

Still quite a good outing, despite the drizzly weather.

Hopefully I don't fall sick tomorrow~!
