Sunset Peak Hike
Well, it was supposed to be a cross training day on Lantau, starting with a hike on Sunset Peak, then paddle around the island, then hike Lantau Peak after the sea trip. But Dennis abused his power within our team and cancelled our Saturday hike!!! I'm so mad! Anyway, since I plan it to be a cross training with the intention to push myself a hair within my break-point, I think it's appropriate to put the Sunset Peak day hike on the same post.
0715 - met Carol at the NSW ferry pier, ate half a sub on the ferry.
