Lucy's Big Adventure
Today I took the ferry over to Lantau to visit the Big Budda - Its the biggest bronze Budda in the world weighing in at 220 tonnes and standing 26 metres high! Caught my first Hong Kong bus today too - they've got these great little cards called Octopus which you load up with credit. They work on the Busses, MTR, Trams and Ferry's (They can even be used in McDonalds!!) so travel is v.easy.
The Po Lin Monastry is also at the site of the big budda so I had lunch in the Vegetarian restaurant, then wandered the grounds and got some good pics. Loads of gold statues about - lots of people were lighting incense too which smelled very exotic. Stayed in with Wendy in the evening and watched 'Mrs Henderson Presents' with Dame Judy Dench. Nothing to do with travels I know but I;d highly recommend it!!
