Macau

We started our journey to Macau at 7 am. We packed our bags and camera and headed into turbo jet terminal. Having a lot of bags, we went there by taxi and it took about 30 minutes to get there. The cost was around 70 HK. We got the 8.30 ferry but we got on to the 8.15 ferry. Surprisingly, you were allowed to take any ferry that went before your departure time of course since there were some available places. After sailing for about 1.30, we arrived in Macau. Then we dealtwith the immigration. After that we went to tourism counter, exchanged our money, deposited our bags for 10 Pattaca for each bag, and had lunch at a small restaurant inside the terminal.

Our first destination was the fisherman’s wharf.

Then, we saw the symbol of Macau, the lotus. Just by crossing the street not far for the Lotus, we were already in front of Wine Museum and Grand Prix museum. Luckily, that day was the day of promotion so we only had to pay 10 Pattaca and we could go inside to both museums and guess what the price was including a glass of your choice wine, wasn’t it great J

we also met many pinoys there, just like usual they would think we were ones of them. They would say hi in Tagalog and said many other things that we could hardly understand. A smile that was the only thing we could give to them. When we met a pinoy, Rizki said, "Feels like at home ", and only with them we could speak English. In Macau, if you cannot speak chinese and can only speak English, try to find Filipino people because they are your best hope. (Good news, they are everywhere, starting from the security guards until the wine man too :)

Around 3 pm, we went back to the terminal to take our bags and continued our trip to our hostel, Auguster’s lodge. Then we headed to an area recently listed as a World Heritage Site. We were walking towards the Largo do Senado, the historic centre with its distinctive black-and-white-cobbled square.

We made many stops for taking pictures and the first stop before heading on towards the Ruins of St Paul's Church was …we found the marvellous Macau Museum. Unfortunately, we could only take some pictures outside the museum because it was already closed.
