Waiting for the ferry to Galveston.

Oh look, a large coach like ours fits!

All aboard.

Oil tankers all queued up waiting to enter the port.

Ships as far as the eye can see - I think we counted over 30 waiting.

Nice boardwalk in Galveston.

Bolivar Peninsula - Galveston Ferry:

https://www.bolivarpeninsulatexas.com/About/Galveston-Bolivar-Ferry or http://traffic.houstontranstar.org/ferrytimes/

• Free ferry
• 2.7 miles
• 18 minutes duration
• 9 min loading time

The ferry was quick and easy to board. I was really surprised to find out that the ferry was free and ran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I think this is the quickest way to a hospital for many, via the hospital express boarding lane. There is very little stores (grocery and what not) on the Bolivar Peninsula, so a quick trip to Galveston lets you do your major shopping and pick up the much needed milk, bread and TP!
