In order to see all we possibly could for our 9 days of traveling, we took a 55-minute high-speed ferry from Hong Kong to the other nearby Special Administrative Region (SAR) of Macao for a 2-night stay. We arrived on Wednesday evening (a.k.a. Hong Kong - Day 6) & figured out which bus would get us reasonably close (within a 20 min walk) of the Macau Masters Hotel on Macau's west coast, just across from Zhuhai. We later ventured out & found a lovely Latin-style dinner at Restaurante Vela Latina, before strolling about the attractively lighted Senate Square. Rising early on Thursday to see the sights, we spent all day exploring the Macanese peninsula, both exhausting & delighting ourselves at the same time. We didn't make it to the other 2 islands to the south (by bridge), Taipa & Coloane, but only because the sun went down before we found time. The hotel bed really felt good that night (despite the fact that it was an overly firm mattress in a very inexpensive hotel)! On Friday morning (a.k.a. Hong Kong Day 7) after grabbing some Sino-Portuguese bakery products for breakfast, we caught the ferry back to Hong Kong for a final 2 days of sight-seeing.
