I did make it to Macau if even for two days. After crossing the border it was nice to see Portuguese. We are in a different country.
We checked into the Venetian. Such a beautiful hotel…..
A few dishes were recommended and one of these was crab porridge.
We ate in taipa and after dinner walked back to the hotel through some beautiful streets.
The next morning we took a cab to the old city to the Ruins of St. Paul, an old church. The front and the crypts are all that remain.
The streets are cobblestone and the buildings in colors and style of small European villages. We found a great little restaurant with amazing food.
We walked along the streets looking in some stores. It reminds me of Hong Kong and the international beauty products you can buy. I was able to find brown mascara which I cannot find on the mainland.
We looked inside this old church.
We were also able to see a race with servers from the various hotels as they raced through the street.
Sights along the way to the MGM Grand to grab a shuttle back to the Venetian.
We headed back to Taipa for dinner. Noodles with crab and salted egg yolk fried prawns.
Portuguese egg tarts are another food to eat here. They are amazing especially when just out of the oven!
Walking after a great dinner.
From there we went to the Parisian to see the Eiffel tower.
A quick trip but happy to actually finally make it here. Avoiding the holiday rush was the goal.
