This trip was an impromptu trip as I was thinking of Taiwan, Australia, Bali for my break. Somehow, someone, something prompt us to book a flight out to Macau and Hong Kong with Disneyland as part of our iti (I will blog on this separately). With a group of 7 it doubles up to a group of 17pax! Much planning on the logistic and it took me a week for this together with the iti. Glad that no lost child in this trip and everything almost goes as it plan.
We took the 6am flight and this mean waking up SUPER DUPER early in the wee hours. We were thinking, how on earth anyone will check in so early in the airport but when we reach there we saw a line at the check in counter. How kiasu Singaporean can be :p.
All settled and I’m planning to catch up my sleep. Glad that Zach slept almost the whole journey. Good thing about Macau, there are free shuttle bus to bring you to your hotel or town! We reached our hotel (Venetian Resort) around 11am and we checked in our luggage to store as we can only check in at 3pm. This place is HUGE! It has few wings and the free shuttle to take to town is situated at the south lobby. It turns out the casino is situated at the centre of the hotel and we have to walk a little further passing through the shops and manmade Venice canal.
We took the free shuttle to Sands’ hotel and thereafter a taxi to St Paul’s ruin. There we spend about 3 hours having our lunch there and did some shopping on Macau’s snack before we took the free shuttle back to hotel to check in.
This is going to be a long post with pictures so, I will just leave the pictures with a short caption to illustrate our Macau trip.
