今早天晴氣爽, 我們來個二澳短遊, 先在大澳長堤出發!!!
A nice and sunny day!!! We started from Tai O Embankment for a walk to Yi O.


可憐 Bear Bear 熊被遺棄在林中.
Poor stray Teddy Bear between the branches....


終於到達二澳長堤.
Now we had reached Yi O Dike.










在二澳長堤後, 整片樹林被鏟成爛地!!! 原來的小徑給鏟走了, 剩下大片泥地, 連原本深入林內的舊村屋亦露了出來!!!
Surprised by the scenes at the back of Yi O Dike~ forest now becomes a big piece of mud, most of the trees are gone!! The footpath (part of the Lantau Trail) also disappeared!!! The old village houses in the woods now can be seen clearly!! What the hell is going on??????????????


離開二澳後跟老友吳太太及朋友在大澳的東方小衹園吃素, 然後再隨本是大澳原居民的吳太太到她兄弟的棚屋一遊.
Left Yi O and then had a vegan lunch @ Tung Fong Siu Kei Yuen Restaurant of Tai O (near Nam Chung), with my friend Mrs Ng and her family. After lunch, we were invited to have a look @ the stilt houses owned by Mrs Ng's (a local resident of Tai O) brothers.




















吳太太的家族棚屋~ 很難得有機會到此地一遊!!!
Now inside the stilt houses of Ng's family~ you cannot go inside unless you are being invited!!






參觀另一間棚屋~ 這間是吳太太的朋友的!!
Now we went into another stilt house, owned by Mrs Ng's friend!!




很有風味的船上廚房~ 仍是使用柴火.... 唔.... 很香呢.... 在煮的是粥還是湯???
A floating kitchen~ still using firewood and stone stove!! Wooow, are they making congee or soup??? Feeling hungry now!!


天色已漸暗了... 不過卻是看日落的最佳地點及時間
Getting dark.... but it is the perfect time and place for sunset photos!


趕回大澳市集.
Rushing back to Tai O Market.




為旅程劃上完美句號~ 大澳街市的橋上拍日落.
A perfect ending for an amazing trip~ photo-shooting for sunset scenes @ the bridge of Tai O Market.

今早10:20 在中環碼頭乘搭渡過往南丫島, 於索罟灣一遊. 先經山路往東澳方向, 穿過樹林後在涼亭內吃早餐, 再上山往山地塘.
Arrived Central Pier @ 10am and took a ferry for Lamma Island (Sok Kwu Wan) @ 10:20am. Upon arrival, we walked uphill to the way for Tung O and had breakfast in the rain shelter. Then we started our walk for San Tei Tong.






往山地塘的山坡上有另一涼亭, 之後有標柱, 已經在山頂上. 爬過巨石打算下山至深灣, 豈料......
There is a pavilion @ the top of the hill (we could see the geometrical pole there!!), we climbed over a big rock and wanted to go down for Sham Wan Beach (for turtles!!), but.....












巨石後面已經沒有石屎路, 走了一小段泥路下山, 發現前面的路給雜草掩蓋了. 由於今早才下過雨, 沙石山路又濕又滑, 只好原路折回.... 大失所望.
There is no concrete footpath at the back of the rock for downhill. The whole mountain path downwards for Sham Wan Beach is covered by grass and mud. We walked downhill for a while but really a bit dangerous to go further downwards as the heavy rain this morning made the path much slippery than usual. So we went back for another side of the hill.






去不成深灣, 便上菱角山看怪石!!! 我們在石堆中發現一個大山洞!!!
Although we didn't go for Sham Wan Beach, we had fun @ Ling Kok Shan Peak ~ famous for strange stones @ this peak!! We found a grotto under some big rocks!


菱角山巨石陣!!!!
Stonehenge @ Ling Kok Shan peak!




石堆中遊樂!!!
Had fun with the rocks!


回程時遇上小狗.
Met a lovely Schnauzer while we were going back to the pier.








從索罟灣步向榕樹灣, 途中有神風洞.
Moving to Yung Shue Wan now~! We could see Kamikaze Grotto nearby!!


經過蘆鬚城村.
Now @ Lo So Shing Village.




蘆鬚城村內的精品店.
Lo So Shop @ Lo So Shing Village.




續行南丫家樂徑, 可見水泥廠.
Continued for the walk @ Lamma Family Walk, there is a cement factory @ the seaside.


大日如來!! :P
Maha Vairocana!!! :P








山上小休~ 風景可真美!!
Wonderful nature scenes @ the hilltop


終於到了榕樹灣!!
Now @ Yung Shue Wan!












進入神秘的大灣肚 (南丫島三枝香發電廠後面) ~ 有美麗的海灘, 沙灘上有大量狗隻嬉戲!!! 亦可近看港燈三枝香電廠!!!
Now we were going to a place of mystery (The seaside @ Lamma Power Station)~ Tai Wan To!
Beautiful beach, lovely dogs playing on the sand, sea breeze, closeup of Lamma Power Station.


阿婆豆腐花附近有手製絲襪金魚!!! HK$10一隻, 非常有趣!!
A stall near Ah-por soy puddings~ selling hand-made stocking goldfish in different colours, each HK$10.
