JUL 8, 20 .. ONE YEAR AGO TODAY .. WE WERE IN HONG KONG .. PART 1 .. STAR FERRIES

If we, and we DO, like to take a quick-look-back-in-time, then maybe some of you would also like to join us on a short, sentimental-journey back to July 8, 2019.

As we state above..

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY .. WE WERE IN HONG KONG.

What do we think of practically first-and-foremost when we think back on Hong Kong?

HONG KONG .. THE STAR FERRIES

The boarding area.

Now we are heading out to cross Victoria Harbor.

Several interior views of the Star Ferries.

The Hong Kong Star Ferries.

The four above photos show the 'traditional green and white' Star Ferries.

In the fleet there is but one very differently colored star ferry. I call her the female member of the fleet. 

There you have this little Blast-From-The-Past, a visit with a few of the Hong Kong Star Ferries.

We hope you enjoyed our sentimental-journey.

Let's begin with a ride on a Hong Kong Tram. IF you are ever in Hong Kong, a ride on a tram is a do-not-miss experience.

Our ride begins in Causeway Bay and we are heading up to Hong Kong Central.

We were fortunate to get 'catbird seats', front and center on the upper deck. Wow huh?

I never tire of seeing the Lippo Centre in Hong Kong Central. This too is a do-not-miss attraction if you are ever in Hong Kong. The Bank of China is on the left in the below photo.

What an absolutely magnificent pair of buildings!

This ends our tram ride up to Hong Kong Central from Causeway Bay.

The following photos are totally random. Hong Kong is a magnificent city.

Into each of our lives a little rain must fall.

The time had come (so sayeth the Walrus) for Patti to head back home to Anchorage. 

Patti felt her attendant was just outstanding. One of her best ever wheel chair attendants.

We two are certainly blessed My Dear One!

With Love .. Cap

OCT 21, 19 .. A HONG KONG SAMPLER .. PART 2 OF 3 PARTS

To quote Julia Cameron..

“What writers tell themselves while they procrastinate is that they just don’t have enough ideas yet, and when they do, then they’ll start writing. It actually works exactly backward. When we start to write, we prime the pump and the flow of ideas begins to move. It is the act of writing that calls ideas forth, not ideas that call forward writing.”

Julia Cameron, “The Right to Write”

I am slipping behind in my posts here on blogspot and so I want to get going again.

Per Julia Cameron and Nike .. Just Do It Captain

Here we go with a few photos that I took during the visit Patti and I made to Hong Kong from July 5th to the 24th.

THE STAR FERRY AND HONG KONG HARBOR

Four photos showing what it looks like sitting on a Star Ferry.

Riding a Star Ferry across Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong is a do-not-miss attraction.

THE TSIM SHA TSUI PROMENADE

Tsim Sha Tsui is a district of Kowloon located across Victoria Harbor from Hong Kong Island. 

In many of the below photos, Victoria Harbor and the Hong Kong Skyline are visible in the background.

We hope you enjoyed seeing these photos of Hong Kong.
