A Day in Hong Kong: How to get around Hong Kong

For a city as big as Hong Kong is, spread out across multiple islands, it is actually ridiculously easy and fun to get around Hong Kong. Seriously, it’s fun. Hong Kong has made sure that its transport system is as iconic as the city it services. With fast trains and …

What a beautiful hike! Sure my legs are a little s What a beautiful hike! Sure my legs are a little stiff today, but boy did these crystal clear pools and waterfalls make it worth it. I do love how even in winter on a cold weekend I can still get outside and hike in Sydney.

Home made Biang Biang Noodles, Tiger Salad and Spi Home made Biang Biang Noodles, Tiger Salad and Spices Beef Flat Bread - my favourite flavours from Xi’An… making it home was a lot of fun. Eating it was even more amazing, but nothing beats the feeling of being at a night market in China. Can’t wait till these boarders open.

Stopped here for lunch, rock tables weren’t as good as the morning tea stop, but the views made up for the lack of amenities ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Day two of the Bondi to Manly walk. Another super Day two of the Bondi to Manly walk. Another super early start to get some serious steps in before our energy drained. We did stop for a break to watch the rainbows when there was a sun shower. 
Brunch was had sitting on the grass at balmoral... and a long stretch and chill when we reached Clontarf. Then it was nothing but steps until we made it to Reef beach for a swims. Arriving in Manly has never felt so good!

When we booked this houseboat for the weekend, we When we booked this houseboat for the weekend, we heard a pause and a moment of surprise on the other end of the phone when we mentioned that it was four girls... no guys to handle the boat. 

And it was that pause, that moment of doubt that also made me doubt myself in being capable of steering and anchoring this giant bathtub. Even though my partner and I own a boat and I have no problems steering and mooring that one with confidence.
And you no what. We were fine, in fact we were more than fine, no problems dropping anchor and getting it set first time. I hate that I doubted myself, but loved that we did it anyway.

Early morning sunlight at this time of year is so spectacular, it changes the whole landscape to feel almost dream like.

DAY ONE Cont... #lighttolightwalk - the 2020 Austr DAY ONE Cont... #lighttolightwalk - the 2020 Australian bushfires ravaged this part of the country. 12 months ago there were no signs of life, no greenery or bird song. Today you can see the growth coming back, the air is full of birds and insects... and the occasional rustle of a kangaroo (I tell myself that the rustle is a kangaroo and not a snake, every single time). One advantage though, because the trees are gone we got amazing sea views all the time, and a nice sea breeze to keep us cool.

For breakfast we had rice, hard tofu, smoked kingfish, steamed broccoli, edamame, a home stewed tea eggs, pickled cucumbers (which are just pickles really) and some orange.

About the Lite Backpacker

Hello, I’m Helen, AKA The Lite Backpacker – an Australian with an English accent (thanks to having one English parent) on the 30 side of my 20s. Like so many Australians, at 18 I packed up my backpack and headed to Europe, flittering from museum to bar for nearly a year. When I came home I thought I had gotten the “travel bug” out of my system as well as putting on an unhealthy amount of “backpacking weight”. Instead, within 6 months I had booked my next trip, with a vow of finding a way to enjoy travel food without the weight gain. Read More about “About Me”…
