A sunny day on Lantau Island

Silvermine Bay, Mui Wo

Today was a good day. After days, weeks and indeed months of cloudy, misty, grey days we had the most gorgeous day here in Hong Kong and as luck would have it, I was scheduled for a hike with some friends over on Lantau Island. We have done this walk together 3 times now and today was definitely the best so far. Visibility was good...a bit hazy...but I'm not sure we'll ever escape that in this part of the world. It was surprisingly crisp and at times downright chilly but THE SUN WAS OUT! :-) It was SO great to see blue sky and feel the heat of the sun shining down on us. Simple pleasures indeed. The hike was a good one and the beautiful weather even seemed to pacify the mad dog that always barks and growls at us as we pass by his territory on this route. Today, he was there as usual but he wasn't interested in giving us a hard time - he just sat, basking in the sun...co-incidence? I don't think so...the weather really can influence us all.

I love this part of the hike when all you can see around you is green on either side and the ocean below you
