Hong Kong - Day 4

Today we spent the entire day on Cheung Chau. We started out on the beach, moved into the town, and then came back to Bethany. I think I wrote about the beaches here already, but they are pretty nice.

With the weather being what it is, it is nice to be able to jump into the ocean, and not freeze to death. We spent a pretty long time on the beach. We rented some kayaks and went out a little in the ocean. We actually only rented two, and then took turns with them. That was fun.

While we were there on the beach, a helicopter landed on the near by helipad. Some one was getting medivacked to a different island. So, that was cool to see. It was an all black helicopter, and didn't look like something a hospital would use, but everything is different in this part of the world.

After spending time on the beach, we went down into the town'ish area to get some lunch. The only problems was that we did not have any money to get food. My dad looked for a bank to exchange money, but the three that he tried either would not exchange money or they wanted to give a horrible rate. So, we ended up eating back at Bethany.

We were going to go on some of the trails afterward, but we never made it back out of the house. So, we spent the rest of the day inside.

Here is the helicopter landing. It was pretty windy out, so this pilot was quite good to set it down like he did.
