Caritas Bianchi Lodge Conundrum?
Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last month. The view was incredible, seriously stunning, but the wifi... oof. It was like dial-up in the 90s. My question is: did anyone else exper… more
Yeah, the wifi at Caritas Bianchi Lodge is… infamous. I stayed there two years ago and it was the same. Absolutely abysmal. I ended up tethering to my phone. Victoria Peak photos are gorgeous though, so I get why you were desperate to upload them. Worth the struggle, I suppose! Next time, mobile data's the way to go. Save yourself the frustration.
True story! My phone battery almost died before I could get even half my pics uploaded. Tethering ate through it like crazy. I should have just waited until I got back to @Hong Kong. Live and learn, I guess. Thanks for the tip!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
