What a day! Glorious sunshine and warmth to go with it (20deg)for the first time of our trip we left home without our big coats. With a bus, the metro and another 25min bus we went to Sai Kung a seaside fishing town with beautiful islands, golden sand and clear waters. The main attraction is the huge array of seafood available. We walked the fresh seafood markets then paddled in the water, had lunch of spring rolls and rice rolls with pork inside at a water front table at the beach end of the bay. Dinner was the main event the restaurants of the town are what everyone comes for situated on the water front of the town with a waterfall of fish tanks displaying the huge range of seafood on offer at each place. We started by asking the price of the biggest crab in one of the tanks ($1200HK 120euro) now this crab was big it would have fed 5 people quite happily but for the three of us and only two seafood eaters it was a bit extravagant. We sat down at a big place with an outside table and as soon as we did the crowds came and a queue of people formed. Karl & I ordered a seafood feed for two with lobster, shrimps, crab, deep fried squid and some veg a great meal costing 20euro each with a beer. Rachel had a beef blackbean which she said was very nice but missing rice. Its amazing for a country we all think lives on rice they really dont think much of rice or serve it very often.
