Camping Under the Stars by the Sea

 

We sure missed going to Tripp's lakehouse for the 4th of July!

 

We needed to celebrate US independence the Hong Kong way-- what better way than a weekend with King's men (and women) and a Kiwi! We went camping on Tai Long Wan Beach. We did this at the beginning of the year for Moon Festival, and it was such a success we wanted to come full circle and do it again! This time we did not do the hot hot hot long long steep sweaty hike, but instead hired a boat to take us to the shore.

 

Tripp's got some more beautiful photos of the beach on his camera-- this place was paradise!

 

It was hard to believe we were still in Hong Kong!

 

We all slept under the stars because it was so humid! The sea was clear and the megayachts were out in full force.

 

 

The beach is very isolated-- accessible only by boat or helicopter. But there are two local places to eat since the smores we made only satisfied so much!

 

A great way to see the other side of Hong Kong!
