Today, we did what we always love doing in Hong Kong – visiting one of the many beautiful outlying islands. It is such a treat to hop on a ferry, leave behind the dizzying skyscrapers, and head off to explore a new part of one of the most fabulous cities …
First up, a disclaimer. I was given a box of S/Co running socks when I was a panelist on the first edition of Tracktalk – a newly formed running community initiative in Delhi (where I live) of which S/Co is a sponsor. So, after S/Co kindly gave me a box …
