| Giant eel on the pavement that tried to eat the fish (underneath) |
During our trip to Hong Kong we stayed in a hotel in North Point, near the harbourfront.
We managed to get in a few walks along there, soak in some Vitamin D from the sun and burn off a few calories before lunch.
I really enjoy walking along here, as part of the path is underneath the overpass, making good use of the space while offering stunning views of Central and Kowloon.
You can see the newest landmark, the Kai Tak Sports Park in its purple hue, and nearby the Kai Tai Cruise Terminal where there were one or two cruise ships docked there.
Along the harbourfront there are a few anglers trying their luck to catch some fish for the day.
When I used to live in Hong Kong, most people caught tiny fish about the size of a man's hand or smaller. Probably enough food for a cat, but not a human!
But one day as we walked by on this visit, one man happened to catch a giant eel!
It was khaki green in colour with dark spots, about a metre long, and writhed on the pavement with a hook stuck on its mouth.
Someone had a big feast that day!
