Summer Trip : Ferry from Tsim Sha Shui to Macau
By admin | January 29, 2010
We planned to take the 1pm Ferry to Macau at Tsim Sha Shui Pier. Therefore, check out at 11.30am at hotel and get everything done before 12pm. Took two taxis to Tsim Sha Shui Pier with less than HKD20 each had saved our problem. We do not have to carry or tow our luggage to walk for way.
Arrived China Ferry Terminal at 12.15pm, get parent & kids to rest a while there. Then, I went to buy ferry ticket for them. I saw two counters there. One is the Ferry company counter and another one is agent counter ( i think). Ferry ticket fare is cheaper on lunch time. if no mistake ferry departure between 1pm – 2 pm is having discount. I am trying to find more cheaper price, so I go to ask at the agent counter to see if they could offer me better price. Too bad, they said they do not have discounted ferry price at this hours, only Ferry company itself is selling that discounted ticket.
Finally I bought 8 tickets at the ferry counter at HKD128.00 each. One way ticket to Macau because we are leaving from Macau Airport. Stupid me totally forget child above ONE year old need to buy ticket also! I rush to counter to buy another ticket for my 3 years old kid while queue to board! :p
We spent some times at Aji Ichiban (优之良品) to buy candy, chocolate and snacks.
The ferry is big and we didn’t check in our luggage but only hand carry. I was worry my 29″ hard cover luggage is over size too, but lucky they do not care about it. :p .. we placed our luggage at the front of ferry, they have special space to hold all the passengers luggage.
Whole journey from Tsim Sha Shui to Macau is about 60 – 70 minutes. And We all become ais-cream in that 1 hour time! I never expect there would be so cold in ferry so I didn’t prepare jacket for SQ and Kiki! All was packed well in our big luggage and closed well. hard to dig out. Lucky, I have few T-shirt is hand carry in a plastic bag. I just used them to cover the children. Else really will catch cold in ferry liao. Siao cold! I also cannot stand for it and keep shake! haii
