27 February 2012 BIG BUDDHA Monday

Another big day of sightseeing today, after a little bit of business and a HK35 dollar coffee - GOSH I thought Sydneysiders were ripped off.

The ferry ride to the Big Buddha was so amazing with many uninhabited islands dotting the surrounding water, covered in a softened look by the mist.  As we arrived we came upon China Bear restaurant for lunch, full of character and good food.

Onto the bus for a slightly alarming ride, up and around the mountainside in the mist so we couldn't see where we were going - maybe that was actually a good thing.  Up the 200 steps.....


....to see what we could of the mist-ical Buddha


We also found the zodiac generals that represent us out of the twelve altogether.

and the lotus flower bearer



Home for Monday night pizza night - what a fun chaotic bunch!
