Day Trip to Stanley, Hong Kong
Bus Trip to Stanley
The photo above shows the view from our bedroom at Sharon and Leighton's at The Peak. After waking up to this view for almost three weeks, we explored this area. The destination for the day was Stanley.
We had the best possible view on the upper deck and in the front seat of bus number 6X. A tunnel was cut through the mountain, and moments after leaving the city, we drove along the coast with gorgeous coves and quite a few apartment developments. We later found out these apartments are very pricey.

Stanley Beach and Markets
We strolled along the waterfront at Stanley, saw the pier, and Di bought a nice sundress. At a small pub, the Denmark - Sweden soccer game was playing but I already knew the results so we moved right along :(
Stanley has its own bustling market. While Di loved it, I must admit that it wasn't for me. This was a gift/merchandise market and I was not in Hong Kong to shop. Busload after busload of tourists was dropped off at this market so it was very busy.
At Stanley Beach, we dipped our toes in the ocean. We had not brought our bathing suits but could easily have gone for a cooling dip. After a short search, we found a great little local spot for our lunch and were quickly re-energized.
