Caritas Bianchi Lodge - Shower Pressure?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

I stayed at this place last month for a business trip. The room was fine, clean, location was convenient. Everything was great except the shower. It felt like a weak trickle rather than a proper sho… more

Ugh, that sucks. Low shower pressure is the WORST. I've had that in a few hotels in @Hongkong, it's infuriating. It's possible it was just a problem with your specific room's plumbing – maybe something was clogged? But yeah, a portable showerhead is a good idea if you’re going back. Or maybe try a different hotel next time… you deserve a proper shower after a business trip!

Yeah, it was pretty awful. I considered calling down to reception, but honestly, after a 14-hour flight and a day of meetings, I just wanted to collapse. Clogged plumbing makes sense, it felt like a trickle more than a shower. A portable shower head is a great tip, thanks! Next time I'll definitely be more prepared. Maybe I'll even look for hotels with reviews specifically mentioning good shower pressure... who knew that was a thing I should be researching?!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
