Us, the people and Hong Kong - Part two

 This Sathurday I decided to bring Mum and Per to Lantau Island to view the Tin Tan Buddha (Giant Buddha) and visit the fishing village Tai O. We took the ferry from Central and then the bus up the mountain.

 We were a bit disappointed that the statue and temple was from the 90s, and that the old monastery was not open to visits, we only got a glimpse of it up in the forest... The trip was still worth it though.

 The newly built temple was also very nice to look at.

 Inside there was a cermony taking place.

 Outside the air was thick from incenses.

 After strolling around in a fake village built only for the tourists' consumption we took the bus to Tai O instead. We spent the bus ride down the mountain talking about summer plans and other things.

 We took a boat trip to see the village. It was built in a very special way to survive the tide.

 The weater was not great, but the trip was well worth it.

 After visiting the village we went out to deeper water to try to get a look at the famous pink dolphines, something I had never heard of before.

 This is not the best picture, but after a few minutes we actually spotted some pink dolphines very close by. The boat was full of excitement.

 We were all photographing the best we could.

 Mum was just enjoying the ride.

 A better view of Tai O.

 Afterwards we spent an hour walking around and looking at all the interesting food they offered.

 Others were just relaxing.

 We were curious about this food...

 But in the end we went for waffles instead.

 In the evening we went to Ladie's Market to buy some souvernires and then to eat Korean BBQ. Too much food (but so tasty)!

The dessert is pure joy.
