When I got invited to a junk boat trip, I was confused. I imagine da junk boat to be those old boats with three mast made from bamboo.

Arriving early morning at the Sai Kung Pier, about twenty friends boarded a white long vessel. For only about $35 USD, the trip included an in-boat chef.

For breakfast, a bowl of porridge and chow started the day. At lunch, we were served Hong Kong favorites chicken wings, udon, chow mein, and fish balls just to name a few.

With the scorching sun rays hugging my body and a refreshing Green Spot orange flavored drink, the day was perfect. Available activities included wakeboarding.

For me, refreshing my senses in tranquil waters away from the clutter and noise of Hong Kong was good enough.
