departure ~ a short sea trip 1

Last summer, when I lived in Kobe, I got on the ferry between Kobe and Takamatsu. This is a commuter line, people and trucks take it for daily use.

The ferry terminal in Kobe is just near the central part of the city. So we can use it very conveniently. (the picture was taken in Takamatsu terminal)

I got on the ship which left Kobe in early morning. When I arrived at the terminal, there were a few people in waiting room, and big trucks beyond my expectation.

Several decades minutes later, the hatch of the ship was open, and people and trucks successfully got on her. I also got into the hold driving my bike.

The ship started the engine, and moving back from the pier. This is the most exciting moment during the voyage, I suppose.

Now, let me show some pictures taken from the ship, using next a few articles^^
