On a sunny Saturday like this a boat trip is the perfect activity. I took my favorite public transport in HK: the Star Ferry to TST :-)
There I bought a ticket for the Afternoon harbor cruise. I had to kill an hour before it was supposed to start, so I wanted to sit in the sun and have a cold drink. I thought of something fancy and bought a iced milk tea with red beans. I expected something like sweet jelly beans...but it were seriously simple red beans, which one had to suck through the extra-wide straw. Weird, but the taste was good.
Then the inevitable photo of the Bruce Lee statue on the Avenue of the Stars, the HK version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame...which is almost as spectacular as the original one: not at all.
This was the harbor cruise boat, which I entered.
After the usual sights we went to the container harbor, crossing underneath the spectacular Stonecutters-Bridge.
The container harbor is one of the largest in the world. It was an incredible sight to watch all the ships, the cranes and the trucks, container moving everywhere. It was like a short insight into the virtual heart of the world, where the containers are the global blood, coming in and going out all the time to keep the world alive. I wasn't able to get this impression on a picture, though.
The bridge once more.
And the TST waterfront promenade once more, the sun already low behind HK island. For dinner today I went to a Japanese restaurant, had a huge bowl of noodle soup with scallops, very good :-)
