Hot (Damn Hot!) Hike

Setting off .... a walk around High Island Dam with Cliff and Mike. It was hot. Too hot in fact. In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have done such a challenging walk. It must have been around 33 celsius, but with no shade whatsoever and the sun beating down, parts were a real struggle
















The first view we came across (above) and the first beach of many on the walk. Hard to believe we were still in Hong Kong, one of the most dense and polluted cities in the world.
















High Island Dam at Po Pin Chau (above). Now it's starting to get hot. Quite hot, actually. I didn't bring a hat, either.

Idiot.

To give you an idea, the picture above shows the breakwater on the left and the actual dam on the right. The picture below shows Mike and Cliff walking along the road on the dam to the left, with the reservoir behind them.
















(Below) One man's walk is another man's hike. Quite a stressful hike at that. Someone said at work afterwards ... "well, at least you could see the path".

We couldn't. And it was hot. Really hot.
















Below. Take a break.

















The next beach ... with seating arrangements.
