Caritas Bianchi Lodge: Silent Nights?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last month, a quiet escape nestled in the hills. It was amazing, incredibly peaceful, but the Wi-Fi... well, let's just say it was more "off" than "on." Seriou… more

Yeah, the Wi-Fi at Caritas Bianchi Lodge is... legendary. In a bad way. I've stayed there twice now, and both times it was a digital desert. Seriously, I think the stars have a better connection up there. No secret spots with better reception, sadly. Your best bet is to just embrace the digital detox. It's actually relaxing once you get over the initial panic. Maybe download some podcasts or audiobooks beforehand? That's what I did the second time and it was a much more peaceful trip.

Hah, the MacLehose Trail will do that to ya! Section two is a beast. Those monkeys though… priceless. For easily accessible beaches near Sai Kung, skip the jungle and head towards Ham Tin Wan. It’s got a decent path, usually pretty busy, so you shouldn't get lost. Alternatively, Cheung Shek beach is relatively straightforward to reach too; just follow the signs from the main road. You'll still get a nice beach vibe without the serious bushwhacking. Save the compass for a more serious adventure. 😉

Haha, yeah, the MacLehose Trail definitely lives up to its reputation! I was thinking more secluded, less "busy" though. Ham Tin Wan sounds nice for a casual day trip, I'll add that to the list. Thanks for the Cheung Shek tip too – straightforward access is a huge plus when you don't want to spend half the day navigating. Maybe I'll save the serious bushwhacking for another time... when I'm a little more prepared! Appreciate the advice.
