We took time on our P-day to explore part of the New Territories by way of hiking.
It was a nice day with some humidity, of course, but no rain or wind.
We started out by meeting up with Marj at the Tsuen Wan Station, and taking a short bus ride to the trailhead. She suggested we hike the 7th section of the Wilson Trail.
We got started at 8:25am
These guys were waiting for us at the trailhead.
The trail follows along this pretty reservoir.
Hikers with umbrellas is a common sight around here.
Not quite what we come across back home in Idaho.
If you look closely, you will see I'm not alone.
Can you spot what I'm referring to?
Monkeys joined us along the way. One even charged and hissed at Elder Bodily.
We tried to keep our distance after that, and avoided eye contact.
Spotted this fence sitter.
Made it to the summit.
Tai Wo ahead and Mainland China is in the distance.
After searching google, we think these enormous plants are called
Elephant Ears. They are common in the forests of China.
7.75 miles and four hours later along with a couple of empty water bottles,
we reached the end at Tai Wo.
We are enjoying Marj as our hiking friend.
She has become well acquainted with the trails in the 8 years she has lived here,
and has hiked all but one of the trails in Hong Kong and the New Territories.
Before she leaves Hong Kong, she will conquer that one too.
As missionaries, that won't be happening for us,
but we'll enjoy what trails we can take in the remaining 11 months we have left.

If you enlarge the picture, you might see a monkey close to the center, just to the left of where I am standing. You have to look through the branches though. Does that help?
