Was absolutely nackered and didnt enter this yesterday..
So, 'today' Pablo and I trekked to Shek O Beach to visit mum and dad during their filming. We got in the cab driven by an extremley chatty guy who proceede to tell us that Shek O was 45 minutes away and why where we going to Shek O and the beach was for locals and the waves where far too big for such a small boy. I told him we where visiting our parents and not to worry. The 45 minutes flew by as I entered into entertaining chit-chat with the driver.
"How long you in Hong Kong?" (imagine this in a steryotypical asian accent)
"Pablo is here for another month and I am here for another week. It's my first time in Asia, it's crazy here! I'm going to Bali in two weeks aswell"
"Ah! Bali lovely! Why you go?"
"My boyfriend is from there"
"BOYFRIEN???!?!? BOYFRIEN?!/?!!??? WHY YOU HAVE BOYFRIEN?? HOW OLD YOU?!?!? HOW OLD YOU ??!?!?"
"ahah 17"
"17?!?!??!??!?!?!????! 17 IS FO HIGHSCHOOL!! NO FO BOYFRIEN!!"
Stepping out of the airconditioned taxi and into the overpowering heat of Shek O Beach was too intense. It was a struggle to breath. I had to tie my hair up into a birds nest on the top of my head. Having alot of hair is not practical in this country. Might shave it all off for Bali. All around us women in straw hats where offering us what I could only make out to be umbrella seats.
We began to explore. Pablo had been to Shek O before and so it was a comfort having him around. Shek O isnt really a touristy place and it has to be said I felt a little uncomfortable walking the empty back streets par the odd bronzed, shrivelled old man giving me the evils. I got some good pictures though. We came to an opening with a tiny little cove, I was overheating and went into the sea. It was beatiful. The water was really calm and warm. I realised how much I missed the sea.
Then we turned down a tiny allyway when -BAM- Chris Hemsworth. and some asians. Dressed as ninjas. We found our mum and dad and went to a local Thai/Chinese for lunch. It was awesome, really cheap, good food and lots of it. I was worried it might be s*** quality, but the infamous dodgy tummy I've been warned about by every member of my family has not attacked me yet.
Pablo and I went to the locals beach and people watched. And tanned. And waited.
We went home and I f***ing crashed, chilled in the pool, had some italian, slept.
