Back to Hong Kong

Macau - Since it is our last day in Macau, my wife together with my youngest son decided to tour around Taipa.

Taipa is one of the smallest city of Macau. The three bridges connecting Macau to Taipa are Nobre de Carvalho (2.5 km long), the Friendship Bridge (4.5 km long) and Sai Van Bridge (2.2 km long). The longest one (Friendship Bridge) leads directly to Macau International Airport located on the Island of Taipa. Also located on Taipei is the famous Macau Jockey Club.

After being dropped off by the Westin Macau shuttle bus, we walk around for a few hours and had breakfast at a neighbouring Macau chinese restaurant. Quite surprising on a Sunday morning it was crowded.

In the afternoon we took a dip at Westin Macau Resort's heated swimming pool. Spent about 2 hours in the pool and then it was check-out time. We have already bought the tickets one day earlier so we zip through immigration quite quickly. The only hic-up was that Turbojet insist that I pay a fee for my hard-case luggage. When we arrive from Hong Kong to Macau via another ferry company, they had no such ruling.

Turbojet Sea Express manage the ferry services from HK International Airport and Hong Kong island, whilst New World First Ferry handles ferry services from Kowloon.

It took just one hour on the jet foil to reach Hong Kong. We will be spending 3 nights at the luxurious Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. This is a beautiful luxurious hotel that I have stayed many many years ago.
