This morning I took a ferryboat ride from Hong Kong to Discovery Bay to attend a meeting.

The time has come to go for a ferryboat ride to Discovery Bay. First I rode a Star Ferry across Victoria Harbor.
No! My love of riding the Star Ferries is not unique to me.
Just a little 'Morning Fog' this morning.
The following 6 photos were taken over the span of 7-minutes.
Then I walked down the ferry terminal piers to my Discovery Bay departure pier.
Photos of my Discovery Bay ferryboat.
The first three photos below were taken over at Discovery Bay. At the Hong Kong Central Ferry Terminals it is difficult to get a really good photo of the boats.

Waiting to board.
We are now 'on board'.
Up-the-stairs we'll go for a look-see at the upper deck.
Back down-the-stairs we go to settle in for our ride.
Unfortunately my photo of the Senior Citizen riding this outstanding set-of-wheels was blurry and unfit to post.
All aboard that are coming aboard!
We are now ready to shove off.
I wish I was (well maybe I don't) Mick Jagger young man but I am NOT.
He could NOT take his eyes-off-me.
We are now underway. Discovery Bay here we come.
It is a 25-minute, fully air conditioned, extremely comfortable ride.
As a Senior Citizen, the cost one-way, is US twenty-six cents (US$ 0.26). Stunned? Really!
We are now at Discovery Bay.
Off we all go.
"Cap?" ..
"Yes 'Zilla?" ..
"Cap I did NOT come to Hong Kong to see each and every Subway Sandwich Shop!"
They are difficult to see, but at the very bottom of the below photo are tennis courts.
How many people (visitors like me) now get to go inside of a Hong Kong high rise building and look down upon the tennis courts?
Snap-your-fingers and our meeting was over, then our after-the-meeting meeting was over and it was time to return to Hong Kong.
A coffee shop out in the boarding area of the ferry terminal.
The ICC Tower in Kowloon. The 8th tallest building in the world.
IF you look really closely, and IF you know what you are looking for, my YMCA is visible in the below photo. It sits behind the clock tower in the bottom center of the photo.
We have docked in Hong Kong.
I never seem to tire of shooting photographs of Hong Kong. As many times as I have made this ferry crossing, yet again I was not able to keep my camera packed away in my shoulder bag.
Patti and I may 'just winter over' here in Hong Kong this upcoming November to March 2018.
With Joy!
