This again is about hiking and pleasure outside the dorm ;)

The day after our excursion to the new territories, I decided to go to Lamma Island, an island only 20 mins from HK Island, mainly populated by relaxed old people (a lot of hippies and 68ers amongst them) but "über"-crowded. It was probably not the smartest idea to go on that holiday after easter but still I wanted to and did not regret it. Hence, I had to find companions, who happened to be Lorna, Melissa and Maria, Helena and Alex, three of Lorna's friends from Berkeley. Arriving at Lamma we became aware of the amount of tourists that would be overpopulating the island at this time and chose to find a place to eat. We didn't manage to and thus made our way over to the other side of the island, the part where most restaurants are situated. The hike took us about 1 hour (maybe a bit more) and we discovered the beautiful island with its hidden beaches and red bean ice cream sellers. The whole island is paradoxically controlled by an alien with chimneys huge as skyscrapers - the so-called power plant. Such an inappropriate place to build one! We marched on and came to the restaurant area where we started opposing artificiality by eating vegan, organic food. Make a point and bust a move!!!
Tired but happy we made our way back to the beach where Lorna left us to pick up more friends from the airport. After chilling for an hour or so we made our way back to the ferry and to Hong Kong Island.
