After one failed attempt to get to Macau, we made it! Lesson #1 - do NOT go on a public holiday. It makes Camboor grumpy, and there are very long lines at immigration. Really, for everything else, too. Our taxi driver refused to take us where we told him to go, and instead dropped us off here:
I'm not exactly complaining. It kind of reminded me of a Dr. Seuss book!
After taking it all in, we went to a pork bun / custard place that was a Macau tourist trap for unsuspecting Hong Kongers. I'm not sure why we didn't get what we ordered.
I think I'll have a Number 20. More wandering on our way to the ruins of St. Paul's, and a trip into the Museum of Sacred Art.
I'm not sure if this is either sacred or art, but there it is. C also introduced us to the wonder that is jerky. Jeff got hooked.
We finally made it up the hill to St. Paul's, where C attempted to take our picture. It was a bit of a problem, because people kept obliviously standing directly between us. We were all laughing so hard by the time she got the shot that I look as if I am having an aneurysm. Therefore, this is the one I will post:
After finding a taxi willing to take us to our original destination (the only Italian restaurant in Macau), we discovered that it did not open for another hour. Some aimless wandering took us past the Turkish Barracks and this temple, which C claims is famous.
We could also see a faint glimpse of mainland China:
After some disappointing pasta, we headed to the Grand Lisboa, where Man told us we could see the worst stage show ever in the casino. It was only slightly better than we anticipated. T,D would have loved it.
The ferry deposited us back in HK around 2 am. We slept in while C attended church the next morning, and met up in Kowloon Park to see a Kung Fu demonstration, complete with drummers and a dragon dance.
When we had seen enough, we walked to the Peninsula Hotel for a proper English Tea. We spot someone who vaguely looks like TM, and Camber proves she is incapable of posing normally for a picture.
One of us is more comfortable with the whole pinky-in-the-air thing.
After tea, we walked around the markets, and I was able to purchase some sandals, since my giant feet were swelling in the smart pumps I had worn to tea. There were no giant sandals in the female shoe department, but they were happy to sell me some giant man shoes for my giant man feet. C was pleased that I got to go through this. Me and my giant feet. Our final adventure of the night was dinner at a Thai restaurant, where we were overlooked by the King and Queen of Thailand.
I believe T,D, has this same picture. The best part of dinner was the hottie sitting with his parents at the table next to us. The proprietor of the restaurant and the mother of the hottie kept trying to set him up with Camber. She can tell you the rest of the story. One of the things I wanted to do in HK was to try some 24 herb tea. C insisted that it did not exist (kind of like the flamingos in Kowloon Park), but her coworkers told us where to go (kind of like the flamingos in Kowloon Park). We located it that evening, and it was undrinkable. I politely took 3-4 giant sips, then C took one and grimaced. Jeff took one for the team and downed the whole cup. One more day to go!
