Hong Kong to Macau

This being Monday, the streets are a bit more active at 7 than they were yesterday and we easily find the restaurant we were looking for yesterday, just two blocks away from the hotel. Excellent coffee.

We check out and head over to the Macau Ferry terminal which is just fine and dandy. We buy the cheap seats instead of first class, stow our luggage and secure two nice seats looking out the window. A few minutes later we are asked to show our tickets. We are in the wrong seats. Who knew they were assigned? We are in the first row behind the wall that separates first from third class in the middle of the row. No windows anywhere around us. We read the what-to-do-in-Macau section of our handy Lonely Planet guide book.

Exiting from the ferry we are a bit confused where to go, but finally find the taxi line and are swiftly driven up the hill to our cute little hotel amid a teaming island full of Vegas styled neon hotels. This is a good choice!
