Beats perspiring under the hot sun I guess. <br /><br />As for the ferry, I believe there is a ferry from to and from Central Pier.

( hot summer with the perspiration can be very tiring I Guess) <br /><br />Is there schedule for ferry back to central pier from Sok Kwu Wan pier? I only see info for ferry schedule from central pier but no schedule from the pier back to HK island.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986831370535810890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-87129918130871161542017-01-16T08:46:25.883+08:002017-01-16T08:46:25.883+08:00Hi Kai,

However, there are slopes along the way so it may get a little tiring pushing the stroller up the slopes.<br /><br />But I guess it really depends if you would rather push a stroller up a slope OR carry an 18-mth old toddler up the slope! :PCheekiemonkieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559459748187375672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-63224382515256772842015-11-22T17:06:10.407+08:002015-11-22T17:06:10.407+08:00Thanks for the very informative post!

I've went thru your blogs on Lamma island and it really informative. <br />Great job. Indeed, i planned my lamma island trip by referring to your blog here too.<br /><br />One thing that i'm not so agree with is the soy bean curd. It kinda worse comparing with those selling in Sg here. Not to mention the smoothness, terrible. The only advantage is "cold" soy bean curd :)<br /><br />Anyway, great blog! it help a lot. <br />Cheers<br />JuggleBell<br />-----------------------------------------------------Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-2004727205817108932015-05-27T10:55:51.083+08:002015-05-27T10:55:51.083+08:00Hi Pages,

We spent the first 2 nights at Disneyland Hollywood Hotel, and then another 2 days at HK itself. One day was spent just shopping and walking around while the other was at Lamma.

I am also concerned about the steep slope after the beach. You see, I have a 72 years old mother in law and I worry for her stamina. Care to comment about the slope and is it a 15 mins climb?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Yvonne<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-86665313113616517722014-03-23T22:02:41.914+08:002014-03-23T22:02:41.914+08:00Hi metapiggie,

Nowadays, point-n-shoot cameras come in smaller sizes but are packed with the same features that a DSLR has (other than interchangeable lens) so those might just be adequate. :)Cheekiemonkieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559459748187375672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222374.post-17619681246947632602013-10-29T23:27:56.977+08:002013-10-29T23:27:56.977+08:00Hi!
