I could well contest to be one of the Hong Kong Star Ferry’s loyal customers because if time allows, I would almost always choose this means over any other transportation to cross the Victoria Harbour. I mean, would ya?
For me, the short journey of under 10 minutes is really more than just a ferry ride - it is an absolute delight.
I was on the lower deck today and this bunch of kids did exactly what I did when I was young. The spot where that boy was standing, was what it used to be my favourite place where I chose to park myself twenty odd years ago during the ride.
Brewing with anticipation as the ferry approached the pier on starboard side, I would watch out for one of the crew members throw the mooring rope and immediately my excited eyes would not lose sight for the pier's crewmen catching that rope with a long billhook.
May be I was hoping to see if they would miss the catch? But they never failed.
Same portly green and white from the 60s relics - this ought to be one of Hong Kong's best-loved gems.
