Macau 2008: Part II

11.15.2008

After settling down for a few minutes, we headed to Senado Square. We walked along the small alleys lined with shops, restaurants and hostels.

The place is still alive at 9pm. We stopped by my favourite cosmetic store, Sasa to check out for perfumes.

We also visited the St. Paul Ruins before heading off to Venetian Hotel. The Venetian Hotel has a free shuttle service at the Macau Ferry Terminal. So we walked to the bus stop in front of Macau Square and waited for the Bus 3 which says Terminal Maritimo. When riding the bus, you should pay attention to the destination sign flashing in front to avoid getting lost.

We easily spotted the violet Venetian shuttle bus which is parked just outside the ferry terminal.

We took the shuttle again to take us back to the ferry terminal. Buses in Macau operate only until midnight so we had to take the taxi to our hotel. Please do note that most taxi drivers in Macau do not understand English so a map really comes in handy. We were declined by 2 taxis before I realized to take my map out and point to the driver our hotel. Funny thing is, the 3rd taxi driver can speak in English. Haha. Sayang ang effort ko sa map.
