Macau-20090826

Yesterday wanted to put an entry in the blog, but somehow, the 'Error on page' problem appeared again.

I'm not bothered to make effort to eliminate that problem, just live with it first.

Today, woke up damn early at 3am. Our flight to Hong Kong is at 6.40am, and as a practice, better be at airport 2hours before flight time. So must wake up early to make sure don't miss the flight. :P

We reached HK about 1020hrs, and realised there's a ferry transfer service from the airport to Macau directly.
Cool!
This way, we saved the trip to HK Kowloon, then take the ferry from there to Macau.

Only thing is that, the next ferry time slot is at 1245hrs. Not so bad lah, by the time take the express train to the city, then to Macau, probably will also result in about the same time.

We reached Macau at 1.30pm. Managed to catch the free shuttle service from the ferry terminal to our designated hotel.
Casa Real Hotel.
And we got a free upgrade to Deluxe room. I like. No. We like. :)

Room was not exactly ready then, so we put our luggage at their storage, and headed towards Senado Square.
We took a bus there. Kinda fun to take bus in foreign land.

From Senado Square, the main thing for me is to see that Ruins of St Paul.
Pretty interesting walk towards the place.

Some pictures here taken today.

Then we decided to take another trail walk as recommended by some books.
Thus, we walked back to Senado Square, and made our way to Ah-Ma Temple.
This was a much longer walk, and walk until we damn tired.

The walk is pretty interesting as well, mixture of buildings of Chinese and possibly Portugal flavour.
Walked for almost half an hour or so, and finally reached the temple.

Karinna said there is supposed to be some huge Guan-Yin statue on top, so we climbed up.
Climb and climb and climb, until cannot go up anymore.
No statue leh. hehehe
Gave up, then just walked down and looked around.

Took another bus back, actually, more like anyhow take bus, which brought us back to ferry terminal again.
Then it's free shuttle back to hotel. :)

Ate around the hotel area, as we both quite tired from the walk, as well as lack of sleep. :P

Great to have internet access, thus, this little entry.
