Macau Day Trip Part 1

So here's the long waited Macau Day Trip post. We did not buy our tickets ahead, so we have to buy the deluxe seats (豪华位) to get the timing that suits us. Without doing much research, we bought a tourist guide from 7-eleven and did our quick 1-hour read up in the turbojet. 

A photo at turbojet terminal. =D Deluxe seat is really comfortable. It comes with a meal too. 

The journey from Hong Kong to Macau by turbojet is only 1 hour. I felt a little dizzy in the boat and slept for a while. Reached Macau and we started our journey by taking a cab to Wine & Grand Prix Museum (葡萄酒和赛车博物馆). Before entering the museum, I went to the park opposite the museum to grab a photo as a tourist. 

Tourist in action!! Cheese... =) Love the colour combination of this photo - blue sky, flowers, buildings and me in white!

Grand Prix museum. Lots of cool cars and engines displayed for fans. 

Wine Museum is kinda amazing too. They have different wines on displayed and also portugese traditional costumes. There's also a corner showing how red wine is being processed. If you are a wine lover, drop by to take a look. Entrance fee is just HKD10 if I'm not mistaken.

After visiting museums, we continued our journey with another cab to Avenida de Almeida Riberio (新马路) so that we could visit St. Domingo's Church, Ruins of St Paul and other tourist spots. 

St Domingo's Church - it is located in the heart of Senado Square of Macau. It is one of the attraction listed on the World Heritage List. There are lots of tourists in the church and the church is rather big and pretty. I was quite amazed although I've been to several church in Malaysia and Australia. 

This is how St Domingo's Church looks like. The man behind trying to seek some attention from us. LOL

Ruins of St Paul (大三巴牌坊) - built in 17th century and was destroyed by fire in 1835. This is like the main tourist spot of Macau and so please expect a super duper huge crowd during holidays. It was so hard for us to find a nice spot to take photos without anyone behind us. 

Ruins of St Paul. Still, Sky is perfect for us to take photo.

Along our way to Ruins of St Paul from Avenida de Almeida Riberio, there's plenty of shops selling almond cookies, dried meat (bak gua), dried seafood, etc etc... Many tourists have either 钜记 or 咀香园 bags with them but my friend recommended me to buy the cookies from another shop. What is that? Please wait for part 2!
