Hong Kong 2016 trip (Macau)

I bought returned Ferry ticket to Macau before departed to HK from Turbojet website. Two return tickets cost HKD 634. Our departure time is at 9 am, so, we woke up early that morning and left hotel at 7:30. The Ferry terminal is walking distance (about 15 minutes) from our hotel. We still need to collect tickets from the counter. After I collected tickets, suddenly Welly realized that his passport wasn't with him. He was only holding he passport cover, without passport inside. He got panic, and said that he needs to return to hotel. So, I stayed there, and had my breakfast at one of the restaurants. If I am not mistaken the name is The village. I ordered a set that includes porridge and rice cake, and almond milk drink. I never know that the rice cake is quite big portion. I was good just with the porridge and almond milk.

After 15 minutes, I received his text saying that he couldn't find his passport, and asked me to check my handbag. Guess what? It's inside my bag.:-o I didn't even know how that passport can get inside my bag. LOL. I think one of us may be unconsciously put that passport inside my handbag. Anyway, he rushed back, and luckily we were able to catch the 9 am ferry.

There is wifi in the ferry, however the signal was not very good.

It took close to 2 hours to reach Macau. We then decide to get a phone card. It costs 50 HKD (less thank SGD 10), and it's definitely enough for one day in Macau. 

We decided to visit Venetian first, by taking the hotel shuttle. From the ferry terminal just follow the sign that guide you to bus shuttle place. You need to walk pass through underground. It's easy to get there.

By the way, the best egg tart that I have tried in Macau is the one from Lor Stow's bakery. They have one stall in venetian. The sugar caramel taste is really awesome!

From Venetian, we took another bus shuttle to one of the hotel near Ruins of st. paul. Grand Lisboa, Hoel Lisboa, and Wynn hotel are the three hotels which are located quite near to the church. It's about 15 minutes walk. But, we didn't walk, instead, we took a cab. The cab costs only 20 HKD (about 4 SGD) if I am not mistaken. 

We walked around the street and took pictures in front of the church. Our lunch was at one small restaurant. We ordered a plate of noodle (the famous one), dumpling soup, vegetable, and fried fish ball. It was nice....

We also tried egg tart from Koi Kei shop. But, it tastes so so. Nothing special. I have of course read through few blogs that recommend Cafe e Nata Margaret's for their egg tart. There is a long queue, but it's moving very fast. It was indeed good. The tart skin was very fluffy. But I don't know why I still think the one from Lord Stow's bakery is still better.

Our ferry to Hong kong was at around 5:45 pm. We went back to the ferry terminal at 4 pm by taking cab. It's still early, so, we decided to hop on a cafe to have a tea time.

That's all for our adventure in Macau. It was a great trip, and yes, I think one day trip is enough.
