紫羅蘭山(Violet Hill),原名高峒山,是香港一座海拔433米山峰,

入口

總之就一直行,得一條路,433m 高山only, 好容易的

30-40mins 就到達第一個三角網測量座標,
梗係要影番張相啦

跟住一直向前行,見都深水灣淺水灣等

因為要搵第二個三角網測量座標,我地要再向上行!

亦要爆山路….

好不容易就到第二個,跟住我地就要落山了

一直落就會去返黃泥涌水塘公園

就此完結,成程路 “好似” 2hrs 搞掂  🙂

———————————————————————————————————————————

香港島大概有38 個山頂可以去,
Kannie以經去左22個了。。。

另外加插Kannie同我地去Jaspas 食 Brunch 😛

鳳凰山山頂 – Lautau Peak Trail

鳳凰山頂其實都上過三四次,每一次都好遺憾無得帶埋Kannie 上去,
要帶一隻狗去大嶼山真係唔係咁容易,要搭車就以經唔系話去就去,仲要事前plan定知道會有咩地方帶得狗呢

以前去會泊系citygate, 但後黎發現原來松滿路有個露天停車場仲近,點知原來松滿路好少的士會入去。
要call 的士先有車。停車場會有的士台電話提供。

幾經艱辛先搵到架的士…..到達伯公坳起步上山!!!

一直行一直行,次次上鳳凰都系十一十二月,次次都勁大風

934m鳳凰山頂! Kannie上過最高既山!可能因位天氣涼,佢竟然全程無坐底休適過!!

石壁水塘,香港第三大既水塘

得一條路落山去昂平,無得行錯

帶住隻狗就系咁,預左會無啖好食就無問題 XD

再參觀埋昂平就好快天黑,原本plan左行埋條昂平360救援徑出東涌都cancel了,改搭的士出去,好彩早前有call record, 今次出東涌$150生意,好快有車了

—點去?—

東涌松滿路露天停車場$6/hr泊車 -> 大嶼山的士($50)上佰公坳 -> 行兩小時(1000 calories)多到達鳳凰山頂 ->  45min (400calories) 落昂平 -> 大嶼山的士出($150) 東涌松滿路露天停車場!

 

大埔滘特別地區

大埔滘特別地區係香港最早的一個自然保護區,
其主要特點是保護大自然景物,作為觀賞及保育用途。

 自1977年開始保育, 時間長所以四周樹木都生張得非常茂盛,
特別多野睇特別多野影

泊車可以係大埔公路大埔滘段咪鏢位攪掂,
起點同終點都係同一個地方, 非常方便

起點付近一間我地覺得好似 zoo D habitat 咁既屋, 想當年應該好靚

絕對覺得Kannie係一隻好鐘意探險既既狗,
去新地方佢會好生猛, 左睇右睇左睇右睇左睇右睇左睇右睇…..

叫得做林徑。。。全程 2:45小時真係全
部都係樹林入面, 睇唔到出面係咩世界!!

春天又暖又濕, 周圍都見到好多菇, 好多菌

行得林經景觀就沒有了,
但係比樹木包圍既感覺真係好好, 好靜, 空氣好清新好香

林徑分四條不同長度既trail, 3km至10km等,
我地揀左第三長既啡徑, 7.5km……

7.5km, 接近三小時就行完。。。之後我地去左西貢滔滔!

回程時又落雨。。。
幾時先落完雨ah…

Fail attempt to Mount Cameron

Kan definitely got the :O is that rice look… @_@
Pauline carefully scooping the some plain steam rice for him.  Never feed your dog with curry!
Kannie patiently waiting for his portion 🙂
To start the trail at Black’s Link road
We found the smaller  trigonometrical station
of Mount Nicholson
The real trigonometrical station is up there with the rectangle building located!
and now it started to rain….:S  and so we went for an indoor pet shop for a walk and kannie
got bitten by a collie border in the right ear!
Thanks the the staff at Whisker’s and Paws, they had taken good care of Kannie
with the wound!

We also found out that Kannie’s food is cheaper at Whisker and Paws than our
online ordering shop too!

Phuket Belle Resort, Savoey, Jungceylon and Night Market!

Finally heres the last part of our Phuket Trip!

The Belle Resort
Our Stay was a so called “Boutique Hotel”, being only approx HK$400 a night, it was unbeatable!
The place is clean, location is good and the staff was really friendly.  We had no complain about the place.
I didn’t take much pictures about the place….but from here and there from my photo album, you may actually get some idea about the place…

Some erotic paintings for men’s enjoyment …

The Savoey Restaurant
We had our last dinner at the – Savoey Restaurant at Phuket Patong.

The Char Grill Seafood Plate with lobster is just so so….

The rice plate was really good!! Forgot the name….but its on the Menu pictures!

After dinner…we went to the largest shopping mall at Phuket, the  Jungceylon Mall!

There is a night market around the mall…we walked around and it was really interesting!

 The thai milk tea was really yummy!

Thai Boxing Stadium…

Kannie’s Weather Proof Gear!

It has been told that the year 2008 is going to a year with lots of rain…
With the days with the missing sun, poor little Kannie does not like to go walk and do his job! (Poo and Pee, ofcoz) So Karen got him 2 pairs of walking shoes for the walk in the rain!

If you have kept track with our blog, you may have seen this

And heres the pictures of Kannie trying on his new outfit!

Kannie looking at Karen while she is helping Kannie to put on the new shoes!

Pok Fu Lam Country Park 薄扶林郊野公園 Part 1

Kannie is always a desperate hiker at all time. This June 2008 had been raining almost everyday of the month and that the desperate hiker cant really stand it any longer!  So today I tried to bet my luck for no rain and bring Kannie to have a quick hike at the Pok Fu Lam Country Park.

The Pok Fu Lam Country Park had a few entrance, the one that I started most is from the Pok Fu Lam Road Entrance.  Another one would be entering from the Peak.

Direction to the Park by Car:

  
From Pok Fu Lam Road towards East side, the entrance is 5 minutes after passing Pok Fu Lam Park and the Queen Mary Hospital.  When you see the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir Road, make a right turn and go straight in, you will be passing by the Pok Fu Lam Horse Riding School on the right side…

 

Go straight in until you see a dead end.  Make a U-turn there and then you should be able to find some parking on the left side of you now.  I  have never tried getting a parking ticket yet (sure given that I have parked the car properly and did not cause any trouble to others!)

Ok, so here you are at the Park Entrance!  So far there is no rain and kannie could run run run!

 

 

As you can see… The weather is not that good today and the reservoir is flooded due to the heavy rain for the last 30 days!

    

And it makes the water fall looks really strong…..

 

Lucky that the trail is all paved and making it a bit easier to walk. So Kannie and I tried to walk as fast as possible to complete the trail (Approximate 35 mins walk to the peak, consisting 10 mins flatland and 25 mins uphill)…. and about 20 mins after we started….it started to rain, not drizzling, but pouring!!!! So Kannie is soaked wet and I decided to head back to the car asap!!

I am lucky that I have brought the umbrella,  but poor kannie does not have his rain coat with him and he had to walk really fast to get back to the car!!!! You can see how frustrated he is in the rain! Poor little thing!

We we headed home and Kannie had a nice warm blow dry by me 😛  That ends the day and I am sure Kannie will have a good night sleep now.
