Easter Bunny and Tai O

After a very long night of jet lag/time difference issues we woke to find the Easter Bunny had arrived and left chocolate and gifts for Macy, she was thrilled to find the Easter Bunny had been here.



After a small feast of assorted Bunny offerings, we were off to the coastal village of Tai O. We boarded a bus to take us up, over and around one of the mountains here on Lantau Island. Tai O is a small village best known for salt production. Part of the community live in stilt houses, tin shacks standing on wooden piles in the water.



After a little wandering through the narrow alley's and checking out the local offerings, we stopped for a true Chinese style lunch at a local eatery.



Here is Macy taking a quick break from the day's activities.



We then hopped on one of the many boats offering trips out for dolphin watching.


Out we raced past the breakwater to the open ocean, cargo ships in the distance. Macy loved the spray in her face and the bounce of the boat on the waves. We slowed for a bit, watching, scanning the waves for any glimpse of the white dolphins we were there to see, then off to the side, we spotted them, white dolphins, gracefully surfacing along the waves, an amazing site. We were able to see them once more before we had to head back into shore. We all had a blast.

Macy loving the ride!
