Lantau Peak
SPOT TRACK OF LANTAU PEAK
For our final day of training we hiked Lantau Peak, which is the highest point on Lantau and the second highest in Hong Kong. We hiked up and I led a little reflection/discussion at the top, we then hiked down the other side into Ngong Ping where the big buddah is. We had a vegetarian lunch there and caught the bus back. I'm pretty tired, even though it was only about a 5 mile walk. Lantau peak is about 3,000 feet above sea level so parts of the trail were quite vertical, it is pretty much a rock staircase all the way up to the top and back down. You'll find some more pictures here

Hi Adam- I laughed when I read "only about a 5 mile walk". You got a stair-stepper workout too! (hee-hee). Loves the names of the places. Have a good week with the kids that are coming- sounds like a busy one...great to talk to you this morning (night for you)We are thinking of you and love you---mom.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking with Kristen today, and trying to remember the joke you came up with on your Long Trail trip. It was a "Who has two thumbs and. . ." joke. What was it?
