supposedly a longer walk....

We planned to walk from our house near Yat Tung Estate, pass the back of Fu Tung Estate and start the trail on Por Kai San Mountain all the way to Pak Mong Village and then cross the tunnel and walk towards Caribbean Coast Estate using the path right next to the MTR /Airport Express line.  As we began our walk this morning, we changed our mind while walking towards the fire station at Tung Chung.  We realised that we have underestimated the actual distance and because of that, we didn't have our breakfast and did not bring any water with us as well!  So, we decided to shorten our walk and re-routed.  We walked towards the promenade to Tung Chung New Pier and then back, climbed a steep flight of stairs up to a small hill and down the other side of the hill to Yat Tung Estate and then home.  The total estimated distance was about 5km and it took us 1 hour 25 minutes door to door.  On the whole it was a very slow and leisurely walk for us, except for the part where we dashed up the stairs to the 70m high hill top.  It was a great workout for me! hahaha
