Meeting Time: 9:00 am

Please use the toilets at the bus terminal before joining the queue for the minibus.
This route is exposed. Please bring sufficient water and do UV protection. A hiking stick will help.
For lunch, we have two options:
A) dim sum lunch in 坑口
B) walk an additional 45 min to 布袋澳 for seafood
Please state your preference for lunch in your reply. We may need to book a table if we go for seafood at 布袋澳. Thank you.
Regards,
Louisa
Dear Louisa,
ReplyDeletePlease count me in. I will take Route 91 KMB bus to go to 大坳門.

No problem. See you at the junction of Clear Water Bay Road and Lung Ha Wan Road.
DeleteThanks, Louisa. Please count me in. I have no special preference for the place of lunch. However, I notice that it is more than 5 km from 大環頭 to 布袋澳. Even if we walk along the shore, it would mean at least extra one and a quarter hours. So, it seems that we should be prepared for a late lunch if we opt to go to 布袋澳 for the lunch.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Louisa and Hoi Yee. Please count me in. I have no preference for lunch. The last time (2 years ago) I was in Po Doi O, the restaurants were half closed and nothing much was offered for lunch.
ReplyDeleteA friend will join us.

ReplyDeleteThanks Louisa. Happy to try the route recommended by Hoi Yee. As the road from 大環頭 to 布袋澳 is not shady, I prefer going to 坑口 for lunch.
