Macau/HongKong-20090828

This morning, we went to Senado Square again. No special reason, just no idea where else to go. hehehe
And, another reason to go there is to buy some food products back home. Some sort of almond biscuits, and it's actuall quite nice.

While we were there, we had our breakfast at McDonald. Yes. You read it right. McDonald!
Apparently, lots of old folks have their breakfast there as well. They had this soup macaroni meal, that comes along with a beef pattie and coffee. All these for about S$4.00. We had one of those for Karinna, and I took the big breakfast meal, also about S$4.00

Then we went back to our hotel. Did a final pack-up, and just leave it ready to take-and-go. Then we went down to our hotel's small casino to look around and play a bit. Played some jackpot before we checked out of the place.
Of course, didn't win, but spent less than S$10.00 to pass time for about an hour. Not bad.

Then we took the shuttle to the ferry terminal, bought the tickets to HK, and proceeded to the departure gate. Somehow, we were 'rushed' to the ferry although we're 1/2 hr early for our ferry.
Guess what, they 'rushed' us into the 1330hrs ferry when we'd booked for the 1400hrs ferry. Sigh.
OK. Still manageable, just didn't want Karinna to be too tired from all these rushing.

Actually, our HK hotel is very near the ferry terminal, probably about 5 mins walk. But we still took a taxi from there, because of our luggage, and lazy to walk with bulky items around.
Checked into the hotel.
B P International.
WOW. I think we had an upgrade for the room as well. I didn't book for Garden or Harbour view, but our room an a lookout to the harbour, and the garden is just right out of our window!

HK hotels are known to be small, so ours is also pretty small. Nothing comparable in size to the one at Macau.

We just walked around the place. Temple street is just 2 streets away. More importantly, went to the MTR to see how we can work out our transportation for the next 3 days. We decided to use the normal card, and then claim back the deposit/balance when we're back to the airport.

Then walked around again, but Karinna felt tired already.
So just made our way back to the hotel for an earlier rest.
