Today we were looking for something different, so we left Hong Kong behind and took a ferry bound for Macau. After a 70 minute ferry ride we made it into Macau, where we headed straight for the historic city center to see Macau with its Portuguese heritage.
In the afternoon we took a taxi to get to the not-so-traditional part of town – heading directly for The Venetian, a combined hotel, shopping mall, casino and show/ convention complex – about three times the size of its sister in Las Vegas. We had a stroll through the mall with is channels and even changing lighting; after that we went a level a down to do some gambling … I lost my usual 10 EURs at the Roulette table.
We made it back into Hong Kong around 21:00. We were hungry at that point and ended up in The Best Seafood Restaurant (its actual name) for some (from a Western standpoint) more experimental food, including jelly fish and century eggs.
