Just an observation for those of you that are price-sensitive... both the ferry to Mui Wo and the bus from there to the Buddha are about 50% more expensive on Sundays (& PHs) than on other days.

$$$ on Sun Buddha?

How come it's more expensive?
So how's the best way to get there from Central?

I believe the argument is that it is OK for leisure travel (which is what the vast bulk of Sunday travel is assumed to be) can subsidise commuting. Pretty much all ferries and "tourist route" busses have higher fares on Sundays and PHs.

The bus from Mui Wo to the Buddha is $25 on Sundays (I think $16 or so other days). Ferry schedule & fares here: http://www.nwff.com.hk/engtext/sched...From=25&line=H

ballerina I hope you won't be too pooped out after your day with Buddha to come to my party. I don't think I can make it to your event as I have lots of things to get done from touch-down until party. Plus I wanna leave myself mystery like haha. Have fun, look forward to seeing you!

Sunday works for me. I don't really mind the extra $40 or whatever ...you can't even get a drink in LKF for that (unless you're at Ha Ha).

Niccy, sorry I cannot do it on sunday, but JayinHongKong we could meet at 12 instead.
TexasAxel, danke for your suggestions, I will keep that in mind.
HKChigger, I will try my best to be there, I understand that you have to have your beauty rest before the big party.
Hope more people will show some interest, I know of a few already, so far we are 6.
