Tai O outing on Hong Kong Labor day

May 1, 2017

We have couple extra days off this week (May 1), the employees have Monday and Wednesday off because of Labor day and Buddha birthday.  We got invited to join members of the Kowloon City ward for an outing so we decided to join them.  We took the long ride on the MTR to Tung Chung東涌, then took the 11 bus to Tai O, Tai O is a fishing village and we were surprised to find a housing village on wood stills, families would live on houses that are build on woods over water.  There are restaurants and living quarters; brings back lots of memory from back 40 years ago.  We even took a short boat ride out to see the pink dolphins but unfortunately we didn't see any :( 

Elders Nielson (in superman) and Elder Herzog came along too.

Normally as missionary we can't ride boat but because it is commercial boat we could!

Grocery shopping - fresh fish delivered!

Restaurant with home on top.

Going out to open sea

observation bridge

We didn't get to walk over this time because we have to leave, will definitely come back in the future

This is the Hong Kong, Macau, Zhuhai 珠海 bridge, you should google this.  This is going to be the longest bridge in the world, connecting Hong Kong, Macau and Zhu Hai, China.

To the left of this picture is a man-made island connecting the bridge.  It is very impressive!

My favorite:  Cuttlefish

Just have to post one with a raw cuttlefish!

Seafood shopping in the Tai-O village market

Water park on our way to MTR.  It was hot enough that I would run in the water if I wasn't a missionary!
