po.toi.

Today we went on a boat ride to po toi- a small island off of hong kong island. The b's friends have a company yacht that they get to ride around on, and i happened to be in the right place at the right time. We were picked up at the dock in stanley, so only had to walk down the street. The girls and their friend played below deck while the grown-ups drank champagne up top. After a bit, we arrived at po toi and had lunch at this fantastically scrappy seafood place. It was delicious. The kids ran around on the beach and collected sea glass and coral while we ate. After lunch, we hopped back on the boat and went to the other side of the island where they dropped anchor so the kids could swim in the ocean. The weather was perfect and the breeze helped cool us off. On our way home, we lounged around on the padded bow while the kids snuck chips and pretzels. The whole escapade took about four hours and couldn't have been more perfect. I think i want this life.

The super delicious restaurant.

Walking from the dock to the restaurant.

One of the crew guys hoisting the anchor. He used a hose to spray it off so the salt water (from the south china sea!) didn't cause long term damage.

Grave stones on po toi.

A shrimp boat. They shine the lights in the water at night and attract shrimp.

Coming home:( Stanely main street and the pier.
