We decided to take the first day a bit slow in deference to jet lag. So we wandered down to the ferry dock and took a ride to Chung Chau Island. As with many of the smaller islands in Hong Kong, there are no cars or large vehicles on Chung Chau. The only motorized traffic is small delivery carts used to deliver goods and supplies to the shops. The main mode of transport for the islanders is the bicycle.
The main occupation on Chung Chau is fishing. The harbor is always filled with activity and dried fish and seafood are a staple of the local economy.
First order of business was a seafood lunch which had been swimming in the local waters just a short time before.
After lunch we took a leisurely stroll through the local shops and ended at the beach.
A great start to Paula's visit and Shayne's last week in Hong Kong.
