Macau to Bangkok

We awake to rain and are umbrella-less. We decide this is okay, and again walk into the main part of town for breakfast as we are not up to the Chinese Menu Challenge again.

We walk and walk, and peek into windows seeking out a regular styled coffee cup. When we find one of these, we are sure that they will have something we can enjoy for breakfast. Thank goodness they have the picture menu. We point, bacon and eggs, two coffees.

We continue our walk to Senado thinking we might do some shopping for silly things to bring home, but the mist has now turned into rain and this isn't nearly as fun at it would sounded before we started. We taxi back to the hotel empty handed. We have a few hours to go before needing to be at the airport.

Victor is pacing. He hates inactivity. So, we wrap up as best as one can and head out again. This time we are going to climb to the Guia Lighthouse, which is in our back yard, but far up the hill. I wonder if this isn't the hill that is going to finish me off, but we reach a certain point and the road flattens out as it circles the mountain. We are soaking, but this is okay. Did you know if you look closely by the exit of the hotel there may well be an umbrella rack for guests to use? Such is the case with our hotel, but I didn't look until we came in from this walk.

We get to the airport 3 hours ahead of our flight, which is okay, we eat. Then we shop. Rumor has it that wine is hard to come by in Bangkok. We buy every bottle of white wine they have in the whole airport, two bottles.

Finally we board, not a bad flight. We spend the flight time looking all our Bangkok stops up, (the condo, dentist and cooking school.) By the time we land, we are quite confident that we will "fly through the system like locals."
