Since I don't know much about HK snakes we got out of there very quickly.Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542884740418230212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-80519213975937736392011-12-10T19:37:53.625+08:002011-12-10T19:37:53.625+08:00Hi Maya --

By any chance, did your snake spotting take place near Sai Wan on Maclehose Trail Stage 2? I literally skipped over a big one -- so big I thought it was a hose pipe! -- in that area while hiking there two summers ago... ;bYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-62752476533624335142011-12-10T12:28:17.140+08:002011-12-10T12:28:17.140+08:00YTSL,

We did see 1 snake, and HK cows on the the road.Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542884740418230212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-90876877128595438142011-12-06T23:21:42.536+08:002011-12-06T23:21:42.536+08:00Hi Maya --

Honestly, I much prefer Hong Kong's cows and water buffaloes.

We squeezed in 3 hikes, Maclehouse (stage 2), Lantau (7&8), Wison (1&2). We ate dim sum at Victoria City Seafood Rest, drank milk champagne at Tsu Wah, and had a great meal at Tung Po. We spent the night In Coloane in Macua and Lord Stow's pastries took us back to our days in Portugal. <br />I can'tMayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542884740418230212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-15573579440654220422011-12-01T22:39:57.646+08:002011-12-01T22:39:57.646+08:00Hi Anonymous visitor --

However it happened the monkey sitting on the rail looks like a well-fed simian. <br /><br />The view is one of the most vertiginous I can recall from the many photos looking down on parts of Hong Kong during a hike. A real "don't look down" moment.ewafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339565669634286677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-62357829888404360732011-12-01T00:41:39.897+08:002011-12-01T00:41:39.897+08:00I just read your Rocks article - very nice.

Some pictures and locations would be also helpful.<br /><br />Do you by chance know any?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
