I've taken a hydrofoil through a typhoon before - even flight didn't stop a huge wave from throwing me six inches off my seat. They're pretty calm and smooth when conditions are normal though.

Too bad. I took that trip in a similar storm. Let me guess, now it's just another subway stop?

No actually, you can still take a conventional ferry or a drive!

A drive? Well, it's been a long time since I was there. The Brits still ran the show last time I was there.

Yup. The government's built a suspension bridge connecting the mainland with Lantau now. That way, people can drive to the airport without having to take a ferry.

Makes sense, I guess, but it does take away that James Bond sense of adventure you got by taking the hovercraft.....
