The charming little Star Ferry and its pier in Tsim Sha Tsui won my heart with its forest green and white paintings and star-motif decorations. The ride felt nostalgic and magical at the same time. I was a bit wary of the rocking waves since it was raining at that time but N reassured me it would be fine and it was (felt really secure with him next to me)!
They give the option of paying by octopus card or a token. Nick bought a token for me just for the sake of doing it the old-fashioned way. :)
I love how everything fits in within the theme--colour scheme and the star motif. This makes me happy. Haha..

Going aboard!
See the black stars on the chimney of the ferry?
Star-themed reversible chairs on the ferry:
That's my nervous-but-I'm-ok face
These two were taken on my second ferry ride on Christmas Eve, this time crossing from Central Pier to TST. The architectural look of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre finally grew on me because at first I thought it looked pale and sort of ugly. The weather was cloudy again but hey, I can always look forward to the next time when I can experience a sunny (preferably mildly sunny) star ferry ride.
