Tai O

The first event organised by the new Ramblers Committee to Tai O (via Keung Shan and Kau Ling Chung). It's weird walking without a map (maps were shared among the group so I didn't get the chance to properly look at it).

Seriously though, why would I be looking at a map if I can just be an obedient follower - just sit back and enjoy the scenery yeah?

Met at Tung Chung early in the morning to take a bus into Tai O. The bus trip was almost an hour long =O
Passing by Shek Pik Reservoir
Tai O
The boardwalk
Is that the destination?
"said our last goodbyes" since there will be no phone connections after this point
Non-chur parts. It was all concrete paths so it was still easy peasy jalan jalan.
After hiking up steep natural stairs, we arrived at the infinity pool =O 
So inviting & tempting since we were already sweating like mad!
The waterfall (lower part)
After a vertical ascent which resembled rock climbing, we arrived at the upper part of the waterfall. See all the other groups below? + the infinity pool at the edge.
A temple in the midst of greenery
Top!
Crossing streams
Some private property which we trespassed to take photos
Reached civilization earlier then expected. Spent the time playing at the playground while waiting for the other groups to meet up with us.
Jumbo curry fishballs. 
The guys managed to charm the lady boss for discounts lol
Shops around the quiet and quaint little town of Tai O.
Swallows!
Unflattering presentation but filled with meatttttttttt :D Funny enough that most of us ordered this!
