Lamma Island

So the first island we went to was Lamma Island. This was by far my most favorite island of the four we went to. The island is smaller than Hong Kong Island, but was far more interesting. Once we got out of the main village, it was very peaceful. We could not even hear anything, but the ocean and the birds. So calming and peaceful and wonderful.

This is the path that leads from the pier. Bikes, bikes everywhere.

There were many ships in the bay. Gary loves ships.

An apartment.

 This is a banana tree. Ann and I are pointing to the bananas, but I could not get my hand near it. Just look above Ann's fingertips and you will see them. It was very interesting to see then on the tree. The bananas grow toward the sun or upwards.

The following are pictures of the island. I don't think there is any need to say anything about them. The pictures speak for themselves.

Looking at tide pools. I love tide pools.

This is Japanese kamikaze cave. The Japanese started to carve these caves in the rocks during World War II. They were going to hide speedboats in them to go up against enemy warships. These boats would be like the airplanes and ram into boats to blow them up. However, the war ended before the caves could be completed. 

The cave was pretty cool. Ann and I went to the back of it.

If you look in the distance, there is a restaurant next to the blue canopy. We had the food below at the restaurant. It is owned and run by a woman who's mother is Maltese and her father is Chinese. Her mother has lived on Lamma Island for 46 years. 

The food was wonderful especially the fish and chips.

We spent a wonderful day on Lamma Island. I am so glad we went here. I loved it. We even left part of the island to explore the next time we go down to Hong Kong.
