Sunday 13th September - Kayaking in Sai Kung








Kristy, our amazing deputy project manager, took a group of us kayaking to Sai Kung, which is on the east coast of Hong Kong. It was a super hot day, and there was very little wind, so ideal for us amateur kayakers and less ideal for the windsurfers out in the water! Sai Kung is beautiful, very peaceful as we took our kayaks out on a beach away from the main waterfront, which was quite busy. There are so many islands about a 15 minute kayak away that you can just head to and get out and explore or just sunbathe on, it was an amazing way to spend a Sunday afternoon and would be great to spend a whole day there and get out much further where I imagine it would be completely deserted. We all had a really lovely afternoon, and, as ever, we were but a short bus and mtr ride away from home. We all looked a little sleepy on our way back in our towels and flip flops and sand on the mtr! You feel really refreshed and good though, having got out of the city and in to the beautiful scenery and landscapes of Hong Kong.

Thank you, Kristy for introducing us to this wonderful place. I am already planning a return trip, complete with picnics, cameras and books!
