Macau!

Because of the previous day, we started the day off a bit later than expected (around 12pm). We ended up ferrying over to Macau using the TurbJet near Hong Kong station around 1:05pm. The ride was super bumpy, and I definitely got sea sick.

   
 
After an hour we arrived in Macau. Immigration was really easy. Also, getting to the hotel was easy since the Venetian had a bus that took us from the ferry terminal.

When we arrived at the Venetia, I immediately noticed how packed and busy it was. I’ve never even seen Vegas like that. Although checking into the hotel was fast.

The room itself looked very similar to the Venetian in Vegas. Except I noticed that it seemed a little cheaper (from the paint used to the quality of the decorations. One wouldn’t notice unless they stayed at the one in Vegas). 

   

 After dropping our stuff in the hotel, I explored the inside of the hotel a bit. Like Vegas, you can access other hotels from the inside. However, I noticed that the Hotels focus wayyyyy more on ships and the mall aspect than Vegas (which is something I really didn’t care about). 

Shortly after we made our way to The Ruins of St Paul (it was a church that burned down and the only remnants was the facade). It cost about 200 Macau dollars (equivalent to 200 HKD). Jasmin though it was a rip off, but I didn’t care since we were behind on time.

  
After he ruins, we went food tasting around Sendak a Square. Jasmin got me to try the Portuguese egg tart, the macadamia cookies, the Portuguese pork sandwhich, the pork jerky and a bunch of other samples:

    
   
After Senado square we we walked to the Wynn (we were trying to get a taxi, but then realized it was about 1KM away).

     
   
From the Wynn we took a bus to Wynn Palace (which is on the side of he river where our hotel is).

 
From the Wynn Palace, we went back to the Venetian briefly. I then walked around to check out the other hotels (the Parisian, City of Dreams, Galaxy).
