Day 2 of Hong Kong / Macau.

Took a ferry down to Macau.

Just a heads up, if you’re intending to go to Macau from HongKong,

you might want to consider purchasing your ferry tickets a day or two in advance because we wasted about 3 hours waiting for the next available ferry,

which wasn’t a very smart move.

Reached Macau at about 4pm. (Notice how half our day had went by despite us waking up at about 8am)

We stayed at the Venetian Resort Hotel which was really really pretty.

Not too bad a hotel to stay at because they have a direct shuttle bus from the ferry,

though almost every other hotel has one too.

But the room was really spacious and all.

Had our most expensive meal of the trip at Imperial Treasure Restaurant situated in the casino beneath our hotel.

The food was decent but not exactly worth the price.

We spent about 800HKD on that meal.

Explored the rest of the Venetian Shopping Centre and headed down to St Paul’s Cathedral at night.

Basically it’s a tourist spot with side stalls to shop at but we arrived so late that almost all the stalls were closed.

Wasted yet another hour or so for a shuttle bus that brought us back to the hotel.

Had a little attempt at gambling in the casino downstairs before catching the finals of Eurocup later that night.

The highlight of my trip would be eating Lord Stow’s egg tarts again after first trying them during my Macau trip back in J1.

I remembered I bought back like two dozens of those because they were so good.

Took a ferry back to Hong Kong the next day.
