~Through the Bridge and Onward Home~
On the way to L.I. we took the ferry out of Connecticut
...It cost almost $70 ONE WAY for ONE HOUR
(car, driver + one passenger)
We only went one way!

...To save money, it was city driving for the way home...

Just about to clear....
For upstate 'country' folks, it's quite a trip driving around the 'big city.'

Wow, that's an expensive ferry ride. Wow! How exciting though... never driven on a ferry boat before. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWhy is the ferry so expensive? It must save a lot of drive time and miles, right. I've lived in small towns so many years now, I think it would be frightening to drive in the big city. Many years ago the freeways of California didn't bother me, but now I get nervous in heavy traffic. Hope you had an enjoyable trip.

Thanks for stopping by! The cars board the ferry... and the ride is only an hour. We've never taken the ferry until this trip...too expensive for a whole family... Three X the fee for extra passengers... $14 one way, $24 round trip (no round trip price for car) It was about $150 for all of us to save a couple of hours of driving... Kind of wild huh! ~Maria
ReplyDeleteYou got some good pictures. Wow $70!
ReplyDeleteThe bridge looks so much like the Oakland-SF Bay Bridge. Happy skywatching.
ReplyDeleteI love that first photo with the sparkling water...pretty pricey ride though...I love seeing these shots, I used to cross the Tappan Zee frequently on the way to New England, but haven't in years now....
ReplyDeleteIt was quite a trip home. Averaged around 30 MHP for a 150 mile trip, I495, across the Throgs Neck bridge, I295 to I95 to I87N, across the Tappan Zee...etc.
ReplyDeleteIt is expansive, but for once it is an experience. I used to also drive through Tappan Zee bridge from Boston to NJ to visit my sister. Thanks for visiting our blog and nice comments. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteWell Maria I hope you had a nice visit! Next time you go, please take some photos of the ferry ride! I've never been on one.
ReplyDeleteWell - you had an expensive ferry ride, but lovely skies. The girders of the bridge were nice against the sky, too.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! We used to live in Connecticut and crossed that bridge quite a bit. Boy, that brought back memories! Thanks for the drive.
ReplyDeleteNice photos! That's a lot for a ferry ride even with a car.
ReplyDeleteHope your weren't driving while taking photos. Interesting change in the sky as you cross the bridge.
ReplyDeleteI love being on board a ferry but I agree your ride's expensive. The scenic clouds and sky looks wonderful though. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Pics but I agree. the price of the ferry ride seems a bit steep.
