Crossing Over To Penang By Ferry.

After a delicious and satisfying lunch at Restoran Floating Seafood Paradise (click here for details), we hit the road again. Coming out from the restaurant onto the main road, I managed to get some nice photos of the shops along the road.
Something interesting on the wall of the shop houses caught my eyes. Ha ha...should have asked hubby to stop the car but never thought of it at that time.
A closer look at the wall mural.
Multi coloured shop houses. The old building on the right vs the new building on the left.
On our way to the Penang Ferry Jetty. We have decided to take the ferry across to Penang island instead of using the bridge.
Using the Waze app to direct us to the new Penang Ferry Terminal. No wonder this route doesn't look familiar to us.
 The new Penang Sentral Terminal is still under construction.
Which lane to take? Left or right.....
Going up the ramp....
The wordings in red - turn off the engine while waiting for the ferry.
Our car was the first in line waiting for the ferry.
The ferry rate for cars is MYR 7.70 (approx. 1.81 USD).
Getting onto the ramp to the top level of the ferry.
Entering the ferry to park 1st place.
All cars' engine turned off. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the other side. We got out from our car to enjoy the sea breeze. Time for some photography!
This is how our ferry looks like.
Passing another ferry coming from Penang island.
Skyline of Butterworth - viewed from the ferry.
Seats for passengers in the centre. Cars parked at the sides

Can you see the Penang bridge in the far distance on the left?
We are approaching Penang island. The cruise ship "Libra" on the right.

Reaching our destination.

One last photo before I got into the car.
More to come in tomorrow's post.

Healthy ginger plants and pretty ginger flowers from my friend's garden.
Photo credit goes to my friend who sent me these photos.
Peace Lily Flower from my garden
Red Cockscomb flower from my garden.
Once the seeds matured and dispersed, you will get lots of seedlings in the garden.

If he sows to please his own wrong desires,
he will be planting seeds of evil and
he will surely reap a harvest of spiritual decay and death;
but if he plants the good things of the Spirit,
he will reap the everlasting life that the Holy Spirit gives him.

A Day Trip To Macau

Hong Kong, Day 3 - Hong Kong to Macau.

A day trip to Macau. After a hearty breakfast at the market, it was time to make the move. We will be meeting up with the rest of our group at the Hong Kong - Macau Ferry Terminal.
At the MTR Kowloon Bay Station, I noticed that Hong Kong people walk very fast. When using the escalator, always stand on the right side to leave the left side free for those who are on the hurry.

Waiting for the approaching MTR coach.

Queuing and waiting for the ferry.
Here are some of the snapshots I have taken on the ferry ride between Hong Kong and Macau.

Shun Tak Centre - China Merchants Tower.

I managed to get a seat next to the window.

Some like me were taking photos, some were checking their mobile phones.

Some took the opportunity to rest or catch up on their forty winks.

The ferry ride took about an hour depending on the sea condition.

The ferry can take in a few hundred passengers.

It was a cloudy day, at times gloomy.

We were on the Turbojet Ferry.

Pete was pointing out all the important buildings to us.

But I couldn't remember most of them, sorry Pete....
Out in the open sea, the ride was smooth and none of us suffered any sea sickness.

Approaching Macau...



Passing under the bridge...

The building on the left is the Macau Science Centre.

Hotels and casinos of Macau beckoned...

Leaving Macau for Hong Kong...


Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong.

We have these two young friends entertaining us with their playful teasing and chatters while travelling on the MTR.

Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.
