Sai Kung

Wednesday - 30 April

Mom asked Sister Collins and her daughter Heather if they wanted to go on an outing with us. So the four of us headed to Sai Kung Wednesday morning around 10:30a. We took the MTR and then a bus. Sai Kung is a fishing villiage on the coast of the New Territories.

It was a beautiful bus ride there. Very green and refreshing after the rush of the city. We walked around for a little while and then decided to go to lunch at Cru. I just got a ham and pineapple sandwich, nothing Chinese or super exciting, but it was yummy.

After lunch we rode on a Sanpan for an hour. It's a small fishing boat type thing. It was fun and soothing. I really enjoy being on the water. Mom, Carol and Heather chatted. I was quite most of the ride, just enjoying the scenery and the conversation. Carol and Mom together are hilarious! They are good friends.

Oh, I should tell you - Carol and Heather are British. They are citizens of Scotland, but Heather spent most of her childhood in South Africa. She just graduated from BYU in December and has since moved to Scotland after spending a few months with Mom and Dad here in Hong Kong. Brother Collins is one of Dad's counselors in the Branch Presidency. They have amazing cool accents. Heather has an accent, but she didn't grow up in Scotland so hers isn't nearly as thick as her parents are. And their accents are great! I love listening to either of them talk! It's amazing!

A pineapple and ham sandwich sound delectable! I can't believe I never thought of that before. That will be next on my list to eat. Yummm.... :)
