I Missed The Bus Stop and Ended Up Crossing Along The Reservoir
25th February 2024

Have you been on a ride and missed the right bus stop? I decided to go on a solo excursion one lovely Sunday since I was bored and my feet were itching to get back out on the trails. This trip involved crossing the sea, riding on a bus, then taking the trail. I always enjoy going to places away from cities.
I traveled by bus after crossing the sea. But, as it was my first visit to this particular location, I was not familiar with the route or the appearance of the bus stop. Although I know the name of the place, I got confused and ended up stopping at the next stop, rather than the right stop. In the end, I retraced my steps a few meters and crossed the road along the reservoir.
This was part of my #LantauIslandExploration'24. I traveled to Shek Pik where the starting point of the trail was located. There were two options to get to the trail, but I chose this one. I had to cross the road beside the reservoir because I had ridden past the correct bus stop. At first, I was a little concerned since it was risky to stroll along the small sidewalk by the reservoir while large buses and other cars drove past the main road.
But the picturesque views drew my attention, so it was nice to stroll back and take in the splendor of the surroundings. The peak I wanted to climb, meantime, was on the left and appeared to be calling to me from a distance.
Meanwhile, on the right is Hong Kong prison. I was certain about it since my boss told me the last time we passed by this road during our road trip back in 2021. I never imagined that I would be returning here by myself. I could hear basketball players in the distance, who might be inmates or jail staff. They appeared to be enjoying their weekend.
Looking at the stretching road makes me feel that there are more exciting things ahead, just like what Ifarmgirl said. It is true, because that day, although I was a little bit late finding the right trail, I was able to conquer the most dangerous ridges in Hong Kong. I still need more time to write about it. Probably will be shared next month.
That's all for now, happy weekend!
Thanks for your time.

What a beautiful place you have visited, there are very beautiful landscapes to enjoy
I love nature, especially if it is so expensive than what you have just experienced.
Beautiful shots, appreciate you letting us know.
Happy start to the week
Nature view is always priceless ☺️ thanks
It seems that sometimes we have to miss the bus stop to have some adventures and these views over the water reservoir ;)
It's a pretty place, and even discovered more trails from this spot hehe
I think I never missed any bus anytime if I am not wrong but I missed train few times.
The fascinating views of nature attracting me very much. I would love to enjoy those views with my physical appearance in there.

It's kind of fun sometimes missing the bus stop. Sometimes, I would ride until the last stop and then wait for the bus to return to its original station haha.. Then ride again to the desired place, this time, without missing the right bus stop.. So can you imagine the waste of time here? But fun though haha..am like doing road sight seeing
It depends on if you have something important to do or not. If you have time then it's enjoyable and I would enjoy it also. Most of the time before ending a bus journey I just wish the journey extended or never ended. I know it's crazy thinking but craziness is also a thing which can create interesting moments.

I haven't missed or got on the wrong paid transportation before. I have however missed an exit several times driving myself and that sometimes has led to different plans...
Well glad you behaved and didn't end up playing basketball in the courtyard, haha

This looks like a good mistake, it took you to somewhere so picturesque! I love it, looking at the road sign is this near Hong Kong Disney?
No it's not . But the same district.. Disney is on Lantau too..
I also Miss bus stop, also train. Last time, the bus and train in my city always full. So, I never did again.
I thought you really have fun there even sometimes with wrong direction 😅
There is always something fun to do even when you are in the wrong direction hehe
Travel goals! Always a joy to see new places.
Haha I think ok lang ma lost sa Hong Kong kasi ang daming places na pwede ma discover. Di sayang ang pag miss ng bus.
