Visiting Stanley

Today we struggled out of bed late, and took a taxi over to Stanley.

Stanley holds a quasi-mystical status for most Hong Kongers - it's this curious place on the other side of the island, sometimes thought of but infrequently visited.  Possibly because the journey there is something of an odyssey - an eighty dollar taxi ride from Happy Valley with most of it on a long winding road, stuck behind either a bus or a cement mixer, trundling slowly down the coast.

But when you arrive, there's a cornucopia of delights awaiting you.
