Not sure if it rained in HK today, because we got the heck outta Dodge. Took a ferry over to Macau for the day. The weather was actually quite pleasant. We even got in the sun a bit. Unknown to us (before our trip) there are 2 docks in Macau so we got managed into a boat to the wrong one. Well, so we grabbed a shuttle to one of the casinos, walked around a bit, grabbed some singapore food at the food court, then another shuttle to the other ferry terminal and then a bus to the old townish area to wander the streets. We may have spent as much time in transit as we did seeing the sites.
Found the Ruins of St. Paul, which reminded me of the Spanish Steps, partly because of the wide steps up to the top, but also because people are gathered all along the steps. The facade of the old church is pretty cool, and there is a good view of the city from the top. More meandering up around the fortress and more views. Took the return ferry, and enjoyed some gelato at the waterfront, staring at the HK skyline.
All in all a pleasant day, but looking forward to the sun promised to us tomorrow.
