We were lucky in that Molly had orgainised us to stay with her sister Lynda on Lantau Island. Unfortunately, Molly couldn't come with us and play tour guide, luckily her sister was able to step up to the game.
Lynda met us at the Mix drink station and gave us a guided tour to her apartment which is 29 floors up. The night view was amazing. When we woke up in the morning the day view was just as amazing. We were so privileged to be able to stay here. it was only a few minutes walk to the MTR (train system) and the local mall - Citygate.
Lynda took us for a typical Chinese breakfast...dim sums...yum...Wayne even ate the chicken feet. I tried them but they were too spicy for me. He did say they were yummy...I am not sure about eating chicken feet...just think what they have been standing in! Lynda assured us they have their skin peeled before steaming them.
From here we went to visit some of the local markets where the locals do their shopping. It was fascinating. We didn't notice many other tourists there either. The highlights of this day were the local markets, the goldfish market, the flower market and the bird market.
The goldfish market has plastic bags of fish hanging for sale, all shapes, sizes and colours and they weren't too expensive. Unless you wanted red arowana one...and these go for thousands of dollars. Don't think I will be having one of these!
The flower market was such beautiful area to walk around, the smells, the colours were incredible.
After walking through the flower market we stumbled up a bird market and could help wandering through.This looking back up the street with some of the flowers on the left and a bird mural on the right.
The birds were of such a variation of colours and sizes we were in awe. Wandering through this market was inspiring and amazing. Most of the birds sing but we found these beautiful coloured ones just sitting.
Wandering along one of the streets was this vendor selling nuts which Lynda couldn't help but buy.
We were brave enough to try some snake soup. and yes it was quite lovely...a bit like eating chicken soup. Apparently its good for your health.
Lynda left us soon after this to go back and pack to fly back to Singapore. we decided to walk down to temple Street Market, which is very touristy but worth a look. The street scenes are all lit up and incredible.
After the market we wandered down to the waterfront to see the laser light show. This was stunning but I didn't know where to look.
