The thought of the kamikaze caves in Sok Kwu Wan never went away ever since Nov last year, so Win and I decided to go check it out and see what it was all about. Arriving at Yung Shue Wan, we followed the signs to do the Lamma hike - bypassing antiquated and various abandoned villages (makes for awesome skirmish locations!)
The Northern tip of Lamma seemed more lively with local stores littering the streets (much more akin to Cheung Chau), whereas the south seemed more just a stretch of restaurants for tourists. Saw some very nice and funky houses mixed in with the restaurants, but the abundance of stray cats and dogs loitering around emanating their own mini tsunami of fleas was enought to put a dent in one's appetite.
The caves were not quite as expected (for some reason I thought it was more like the underground caves the Vietcong used) and were huge visible caverns with open access to the sea.
We decided to call it a day at Mo Tat Wan, ferrying it back to Aberdeen for a long overdue lunch - Vietnamese Pho! Hooray!
