Hong Kong is not the only Island

I'd noticed other small islands when flying into Hong Kong a few years back - and it had made me curious to explore them one day - they are such a contrast to the densely populated highrises of Hong Kong proper.

So I got a ferry to Cheng Chau. It was sunny and warm and soooooo pleasant to wander around the island away from the hustle and bustle.

You couldn't ask for better 'tracks'

There are the obligatory temples en route

...where a lot of incense gets burnt
And up top was this lovely array of letterboxes...
and this strange dwelling built in a very mickey-mouse fashion

The Catholic cemetary was also very densely populated

Obviously cremating is more efficient

...especially when you can have ones for couples and families.

There are no cars on the island but you gotta get your groceries up the hill and home somehow

By the end of the day I'd walked over 10 miles - today was a day of rest!
