We started our day again late. We left the hotel around 10:30 AM and we started looking for the terminal where we can ride the ferry going to Macau. The front desk staff told us that it is just by the corner of the hotel but we had a hard time looking for it.
We were able to catch the 12 nn ferry going to Macau and so we are at Macau by 1 PM. We went to the Fisherman’s Warf for some picture taking again and then we took a cab from there going to the St. Paul Ruins. We checked out the ruins first before we had lunch at the Plaza. The plaza was so crowded since there is a concert so we left right after we had lunch.
Then we went to Macau Tower. We went up to the viewing deck and the view there was so amazing. Of course I was so scared again to step on the glass bottom floor but Bela was really enjoying it as she was even running and jumping and was not even scared to look down. We also went up to the Open Viewing Deck were we were able to watch visitors trying the Sky Walk and the Bungee Jump.
After Macau Tower, we went back to the ferry terminal and we catch the free bus that will take us to the Venetian Hotel. The Venetian Hotel was so beautiful. It is indeed bigger compared to the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. We were able to check quote a few shops at the Grand Canal and we tried the Gondola ride.
Bela had a great time riding the gondola while we are being entertained by our handsome gondolier, Alissio. We even told them that it is Bela’s birthday so all the gondoliers sang Happy Birthday (in Italian) for Bela when we reached the loading dock.
We went back to the ferry station after our gondola ride to catch our ferry going back to Hong Kong Island. It was not the kind of ferry ride that I wanted and I almost got scared. Good thing I was so tired and sleepy so I just sleep instead since Bela was sleeping soundly too.
