An Evening on Lamma Island

After my days rambling around the city, D and I set sail for Lamma Island with a group of her colleagues on the firm's boat. There were about 14 of us as we headed away from Central Pier on our way to dinner on the island. The view from the boat as we moved around the coast westwards was quite incredible. At 8 o'clock every evening the biggest buildings in HK compete with each other in a light show which lights up the entire North coast of the island. The boat trip took about 45 minutes and took in some of the most amazing cityscapes that I have ever seen. The bay was also full of algae which turned fluorescent blue as they were disturbed by the boat which was also an awesome sight, which my camera failed to capture in the dark.

Dinner was a seafood restaurant where you knew all of the fish was fresh because it was sat staring at you from the tanks as you walked in. There was a mixture of food, some good, some bad and some outright disgusting. The company at the meal made up for the food and the harbour was a quite, picturesque location which was as far removed from Hong Kong city as we have seen so far on our trip.

I apologise for the photos below, my camera struggled in the dark and also its pretty hard to hold a camera still when stood in a rocking boat!

Another slightly out of focus cityscape!
I will leave that for today, keep checking for more posts on the worlds best/most boring blog!
