Lamma Island is dotted with seldom used Chinese style pagodas like the one we are taking shelter in now. Mostly they are on top of hills or spoiling a scenic spot and more than a few people here deplore them as a gaudy examples of the govt wasting money. But if you happen to be lucky enough to pass one just as the sky darkens, growls and opens up above you then you will thank the gods for the shelter. Dobeeboo is not one to complain either. She is more than happy to lie down and enjoy a good refreshing downpour.
