Giant Buddha!!!

---

Today was a great day! We started off getting the tube from just outside our hostel to Lantau Island. (Thankfully the streetwise Pea was there to guide us through the maze of coloured tubes!!) We arrived on Lantau and got cable cars at Ngong Ping. We floated over all the mountains and the views were totally amazing!! Pics to come! We then visited the Giant Buddha which is literally massive and sits on top of a mountain. We visited a Chinese tea shop which was lovely! We all sat down very quietly and a Chinese lady named Summer served us all some Phoenix (Fung Wong) Tea. We also had a 'Wife Cake' (requested by the greedy Jan AKA Anna) which was a pastry filled with almonds and cocunut. The tea was served in tiny little cups and was a very nice experience!

We also visited the Po Lin Monastary on that island, where we could have an optional vegeterain meal.

We had lunch at a Chinese Restaurant and once again the guzzling Anna had a big bowl of noodle soup whilst Fee and Bean had small side dishes!! Mine came with three bowls as they thought we were going to share it!!! Aughhh!

We're travelling to Macau tomorrow and staying a nice hotel! Wohoo! On Wednesday we travel to Bangkok.

Speak to you all soon and thank you for the messages!

lots of love xxxxx
