HK: Stanley Market

Day number two. Ate breakfast. Jumped on the city bus, using our handy-dandy Octopus Cards, and made our way up the mountain. Destination: Stanley. Nestled in the mountains beside a beautiful body of water, dozens of shops are open for business! 

On our way!

 Waiting for bus 970.

 Although it was a rather long bus ride, it was very scenic. Providing quick yet stunning views, our bus continued up the mountains.

We arrived!

 On a look out point, you could write a love letter. I did not join in this merriment.

 Boats, with fishermen working on board.

 It looked as if they were working with cotton.

"Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.…" 
Matthew 4:18-20

 Lunch is served!

Just kidding! This is what I call lunch! Pizza bigger than your face and bigger than your plate! Needless to say, I did not finish my piece. Maybe next time.

After filling our stomachs with lunch, we headed for the markets. Girls + shopping = always!

 A glimpse of Stanley. This was just outside our place of lunch.

Good-bye Stanley. Thanks for the purchases and the ice cream!
