We have some new expat colleagues at Hasbro in Hong Kong so this past Saturday I organized a Welcome Wagon party for them to meet people in Hong Kong.
It's really neat that the restaurants Rainbow on Lamma actually has a boat to come pick people up. So we got a free ferry from Central to Lamma. It takes about 40 minutes on their ferry and we go to the Sok Kwu Wan village on Lamma.
Casey wanted a group shot doing star jumps before lunch.
Let the seafood journey begin!
Here you see razor clams.
And amazing scallops with glass noodles and garlic. The scallops were the size of half dollars!
I take my seafood eating very seriously. Here I am trying to get into a squilla.
Group shot after a great meal! Left to right... Donna and Andy, me, Ana and Peter, Paul and Julia, Geoff and Tamara, Ty, and Casey.
We then began our walk/hike from one side of the island to the other. We start at the fishing village and will end up at Yung Shue Wa.
The view looking back at the fishing village.
We finish the hike in Yung Shue Wan village which is a more populated village with small local stores but no big chain stores. There are surprisingly a lot of expats living in the village. It is about 20 minutes back to central from this pier on a faster boat.
Thankfully the weather held out and we didn't get any rain. The cloud cover actually made it okay to hike but the humidity is really getting bad here.
