The beaches re-open and we await the next wave...

 

There is that saying about insanity, and expecting different outcomes from the same inputs, and it is with heavy heart that I can't help saying that I fear that for Hong Kong.  With vaccies far from rolled out, the beaches opened again yesterday, and it feels like all seven plus million of us launched into the summer weather.  I'm relying on the picture above to load full size if you click into it - but bear in mind - this is Sai Wan beach, you can't drive here - so if you can, in the distance, check out the number of campers spending the night on the beach. A gorgeous late afternoon it was.

The day before Aiden and a couple of his mates spent the night camping on one of the village beaches, which weren't subject to the closure rules - and no such crowds - I was on my way out for a swim in the morning and could see their two tents in the middle left in front of the turquoise wall.

At the beach - moth still - decorated by shards of green leaf.

We got to Sai Wan thanks to an invite from Robyn and Pieter and their new RIB which is a machine of note.

Tasty Udon noodles and rice with beef black bean sauce for a late lunch.

Late afternoon before leaving, people having a massive jol, but at what price and when?
