A beach holiday at Cheung Chau

We have another typhoon warning tonight! The typhoon warnings are a bit bizarre. T1 is "just letting you know there is a typhoon kind of near Hong Kong and it might get a bit windy". T3 is "watch out, the typhoon is getting closer and you might want to shut your windows and tie up your boats, just in case". And T8 is "Too windy and rainy to go to school so you should just stay home today".

Yeah, what happened to T2, T4, T5, T6 and T7???

So yesterday we had a "hot weather" warning, and tonight we have T3, Amber Rain and Thunderstorm warnings. Cool! I'm checking the weather site first thing tomorrow to see if school is cancelled.

Anyway back to the beach holiday. We went to Cheung Chau island on the weekend. It is a short ferry ride away, and we were only there for a few hours, but once you are there you think you have gone to stay at the beach for a getaway.

It was really nice! There are no cars on the island, just lots of people on bikes, market stalls, fish in tanks outside restaurants, and lots and lots of tables lining the streets. We went and hung out at the beach for a while, had a wander, and had dinner at one of the hundreds of seafood restaurants. Lyzette I'm definitely taking you there, the kids would love it! I'll put more photos on Facebook.
