Today after a sumptuous breakfast we boarded our buses and made our way to the Macau Ferry terminal. There was a lot of elevator and escalator riding plus an immigration exit check before boarding our jet boat for the one hour ride to Macau.
The walk from the gangway to the incoming immigration checkpoint was quite long and soon we were on a new set of buses to take a city tour of Macau. We visited a fortress, the ruins of St. Paul's church, a portion of the downtown with its narrow twisting streets, and a temple. I also enjoyed some excellent beef jerky which was for sale in many shops. It was really interesting to see the Portuguese enfluence in this area. After checking into the Sheraton Macau, we walked around the interior of the hotel and found one of the largest food courts we've ever seen and all of the venues were variations of various Chinese cuisines. It was very impressive!!
We then found a large 3 story high end shopping mall before enjoying a feast at The Feast buffet with all measure of seafood. We ate with a couple who we learned were bikers and had some great conversation.
After dinner we walked 'the strip' taking in the sights of many oversized casinos.
We may not have access to the internet for the next 5 days, but I'll update thus blog when I can.
