This past Saturday, I opted to go for a hike...far better then eating or laying about the hotel room. Well let me say, if you ever get the chance to go to Hong Kong - and are in decent shape, go for a hike. Hong Kong, like NYC can be a 'concrete jungle' and it's nice to get out onto unpaved tracks and less people. Whilst on the hike, you'd never know there was a city of 9+ million living below you; as most of the time you're in the woods.
I'm thinking that I may go for another hike soon, over the 'Dragons Back' towards Shek O. Though I think, I'll have to wait till next time when I have a backpack or such for my water and snacks....hiking in 76F w/ 60% humidity wearing trousers and a rain jacket; wasn't the best idea. But I did probably sweat out/lose quite a bit of weight - always a plus.
