On Top of Finger Hill

Another Saturday, they have been coming around very quickly lately. We decided to go back out to Peng Chau and see if we could find our way to Finger Hill. This time we didn’t follow the hike book, we followed the signs and found it easily. However, we found that we were very close the last time, we just didn’t keep on through a little village, or we would have found it before. Today there was a huge black dog blocking one way, so we went another. At least that way the big, ugly dogs were inside fences, and not running loose. They certainly have big, ugly dogs out on these islands, and they all look pretty much the same, and they are ALL over.


After our successful accent up Finger Hill we went back to catch the ferry over to Discovery Bay. As we approached the pier it was just pulling out. We couldn’t figure it out, it left 10 minutes early. And the ferry we came over on this morning left 10 minutes early also. Why don’t they stick to their posted schedules?
Good question! It wasn’t the ferries that were off schedule, it was Dew’s watch that was dying! That’s right, the battery in his $3.00 watch is dying. Guess we can’t complain tho, he’s had it for a year!

At Discovery Bay we hit the Mexican Restaurant and had a huge lunch. It was soooo good. I have really missed Mexican food. It was a little taste of home.
Then back on the ferry, which also left 10 minutes early also, and back home to grocery shop and get ready for Sunday.

Man, you guys are going to lots more places than I ever did! I don't know how you do it! You'll be experts on HK by the time you're done. Looks like so much fun, and I love the pictures off Finger Hill - makes me miss the lush tropical islands! It so dry and dead here in Utah! I miss you guys. Tell everyone hello for me. Good luck finishing up everything the next few weeks, and don't forget to look me up when you get home!!
