we decided to check out early, had breakfast at a congee shop nearby
and head to the ferry terminal!
In my past few trips to macau,
i never booked the ferry tickets but to buy on the spot,
especially when the ferry terminal has a big mall with food and shops
that it doesnt make waiting too hard.
Fortunately, the next ferry was about 40minutes later
so we purchased the tickets and shortly was in the waiting berth.
I recalled my first ferry ride to macau
where i was so sea sick and unwell,
From then on, i always took sea motion pills.
However, since i was pregnant,
i can't really take any medicine
and hope that i can sleep immediately when in ferry.
I was starting to feel unwell when waiting for the ferry to depart,
luckily i managed to sleep shortly.
Husband gets to enjoy the sea view alonne:
About 1 hour later, we arrived!
The weather was as humid and hot like in hongkong,
which makes a cranky pregnant women.
Thankfully, our hotel (Studio city hotel)provides transfer from the ferry terminal
and we arrived and checked in about 30minutes since arrival.
It seemed that some attractions are closed due to the typhoon but everything looks fine.
Since we are in the casino area, it is probably the best hotel for our trip!
It was hard to leave the nice and comfy hotel room
but i ran out of food supplies so perfect reason to leave for lunch!
Anyway, the plan was to visit the old town in the afternoon
so we took the shuttle bus and not stay to look for lunch in the hotel area.
The weather was so hot and humid that i was burning!!!
On the way nearer to the old town,
we noticed more destructions made by the typhoons.
As mentioned in the news,
the local residents were unhappy because rebuilt was fast at casino areas
and not the residential areas,
the contrast was really obivious...
We finally arrived at old town
after we sneaked in to a hotel near the drop-off point,
pretended to be guests, asked for map
and directions to the old town, haha.
The weather was bad but i was glad that it was not very crowded,
it was the right choice to go on a weekday!
Before we started the walk around,
we went to a nearby cafe for the famous pork bun.
I was starving and didnt want to search for a cafe,
so we ended up in a quite expensive cafe
but the food was good...
I had to google for the photos because we were busy eating
and didnt took any photos.
Interestingly, google told me that they have an outlet in Singapore?
After a full belly, we walked towards the famous St Paul's ruin
while i was dying under the hot weather.
That's why no photos of our walk
because i was melting and didnt share husband's excitement in exploring the town.
I was more interested to find drinks stores and shades to hide in
while husband went explore the St Paul ruins in details.
Thereafter, i took husband for the biscuits stores tasting tours!
Basically, going into all the different/same biscuits stores and keep tasting the biscuits!
My mum's fave activity during our last trip to macau.
We ended up with some purchases and a fully belly of biscuits.
We didnt had any plans so it was just randomly walking,
bought bread and snacks tio bring back to the hotel.
My energy was low that i requested to return to hotel to rest and dinner.
So, we went back to the drop off area for the shuttle bus and returned to hotel.
After a short rest in room,
we decided to explore the hotels around and look for dinner.
Strangely, most of the street lights were not aorking,
and the areas were in the dark,
probably because of the typhoons.
Husband was happy to visit the hotels
and we managed to find a foodcourt in the venetian hotel for dinner.
After dinner, we explored the hotel and headed back to our hotel.
Probably the right choice was to head back to our room and enjoy the nice room,
but we ended up in the hotel's casino, haha.
From losing, winning, draw, winning, losing...
I finally returned to the room at 2am because im so tired
while husband returned to room at 4am.
It was hard to wake up the next morning
and we were a little sad that we didnt enjoyed the room,
it was a mad rush to pack and checked out.
We found a food court near the shuttle bus area
and has a simple "brunch" before heading to the ferry terminal.
The ferry terminal was less interesting than the hongkong's terminal
so the wait seems harder especially when we are tired.
And finally, it was ferry time and i slept through the ferry again.
The plan was to explore the hongkong island area
Normally i stayed in the usual mongkok etcs areas,
so, we had to find our way to JJ hotel in wanchai.
it was more diificult because the hotel is not really obvious
but was 3 levels of a big building.
It was definitely our least favorite hotel of the trip.
The plan for the day was to go central for the famous elevator, Quarry bay etcs
husband wanted some non-asian food for lunch
so we spent some time before finding a spagetti/pizza restuarant.
I dont know was it the weather, the lack of rest
or simply being moody pregnant woman,
I was so tired that i dont want to do anything.
Despite feeling bad to waste a day of our trip,
husband agreed that we will just go to 7-11 for snacks shopping
and return to hotel to rest.
As i mentioned the hotel was not great,
but i was glad to do nothing on bed for the rest of the day.
It started raining heavily in the evening.
I was searching for ideas for dinner
and saw that there was a mos burger nearby.
So, we braved through the rain and bought mosburger back to hotel.
It was watching boring tv, munching on burgers and doing nothing night.
