Day Trip to Cheng Chau

We were up and about at the normal time today!!! We made do with breakfast at the hotel... some crossaints we bought at a local bakery in Wanchai.... nice but sweeter that those we get back home...

We headed over to Times Square and caught the MTR to Central.... From here we jumped on a ferry to take us to Cheng Chau which is like a little seaside town..... The ferry was absolutely jam packed... We stood outside and it took about 45 mins to get to Cheng Chau...

We jumped off and headed through some of the local streets until we found the beach... it's a Bank Holiday today in Hong Kong so it was well busy!!!!

We had a good look around... and then headed back on the return ferry to Central.... Took the deluxe option on the way back.... woooooooooo!!!!!! comfortable seat and you even got your own personal vomit bag... nice touch...
