Day 5

Wow this week went quick! Got a bit of catching up to do now. Friday was a relaxed day. We had a late lunch on Lamma Island. This time we took the ferry to Yung Shue Wan rather than Sok Kwu Wan, and found that this side is much nicer. There's more restaurants here, more gift shops and it seems a bit more modern that Sok Kwu Wan. We had a really delicious lunch- Mum, Dad and me had lamb shank in red wine sauce and Katy had pork chops. Afterwards we bought some nice souvenirs i the gift shops and walked around the village.

In the evening we went to see the fireworks. Yay! Fireworks! We didn't get there until 7ish (show started at 8) but we still got a really good view. And they were amazing! They played music too which I couldn't hear but Jo and Theresa could. After they'd finished I was expecting it to be chaos, especially on the MTR, but it was really organised and everyone was being directed to specific MTR stations and there was no pushing or rushing. And when we got on the MTR it wasn't half as packed as I imagined. So, well done Hong Kong! Although I didn't expect anything less from you.
