What a beautiful day! The warm sun was hanging up in the blue sky. The breeze was blowing gently over the sea. There were several sea gulls whirling over the waves. it's a good day for a picnic,?we thought happily as we stood on the deck of the ferry boat on our way to Green Island, admiring the picturesque view.
After an hour's sailing, we reached our destination. We saw a range of shops and houses with one or two stories by the sea shore. They were not newly built. We also saw quite a number of dead fish which were going to be dried in the sun distributed on the ground.
We went down to Sai Wan beach. There were many fishermen's huts and little houses built on disused sampans. We also saw many dried lobsters and fishes lying about the sea shore and there was a bad odour from them.
We crossed the beach and went up the slopes. At last, we reached the famous cave which was the hiding place of a notorious pirate in the 19th century. Carrying a torch, each of us was very excited. We carefully slipped into the dark cave one by one. It was very narrow and we found it difficult to walk through. We could not see anything but the cave. However, we ventured inside the cave. The opening was so small that we could hardly get through.
Everyone was tired and hungry, so we went to eat all the food we brought with us. The food seemed to be more tasteful than usual. After that, some of my classmates went to fish by the cave and others went to travel round the island in a boat.
We enjoyed our games in the garden very much until it was five o'clock in the afternoon. The sun would set very soon, so we gathered together and returned to the pier. We then stepped on board the ferry boat and said good-bye to Green Island.
