Bicycle to Ma On Shan

After the ballet class we honored a promise to Hannah and took her back to Shatin for bicycle riding.

This time we were out for 3 hours and went all the way to Ma on Shan along the Ma on Shan water-front promenade.

Looking south from the MaonShan waterfront towards the entrance to the river

The waterfront promenade is really very pleasant with views across the Tolo harbor to Tai Po and the mountains at Pat Sin Leng.

Looking West to Hong Kong University and Tai Po on the right.

Looking north from Ma On Shan park across the Tolo harbor towards PatSingLeng.  For a while I thought I might actually be looking at 'Far Cathay'.  But when I checked my map I realized that even these mountains are part of the New Territories, so still 'British' (sort of).

This time we also went out without a support vehicle since Rika rode a normal bike rather than a family cycle.   We thought that Hannah would cycle the whole way.    She put in a pretty good effort but eventually did get tired.  So Daddy ended up cycling much of the time with Hannah in the child seat at the back and Hannah's bicycle balanced on his handlebars.

Sometimes 'super-daddy' surprises even himself with his versatility (and modesty).

Hannah had a good time but she was in a somewhat contrary mood.  Rika thinks she is worried about school.
