This is my last post on our one day trip at Macau. From Senado Square, we walked back to Grand Lisboa. It was easy to locate this building as it is the highest and most lighting in this city area. Once reached at the Grand Lisboa, we couldn't resist to take more photos here.
It was so happening with the lights, crowds, visitors coming in and out the hotel and casino... totally felt like in Vegas (I never been there though but I bet Vegas is definitely more happening)...
Lets the photos do the talking ok..!
Once had it enough at Grand Lisboa, we went infront of the lobby to catch the shuttle bus. It was already very long queue there and we started to panic either we could make it on time to the Ferry Terminal (tu la bergambar tak ingat kan...). We also noticed that everyone must have a receipt/ticket to get into the shuttle bus which made us more worried. We asked the information counter inside the hotel and being told that we needed to collect the receipt at the casino's counter. What!! Actually, the free shuttle bus only applicable for member or if you spending money in their resort (casino, hotel, restaurant, etc). As some people (like us) who used their free shuttle bus but not going into their resort or worst go to their's competitor resort like Wynn Hotel which located opposite the Grand Lisboa (that definitely not us), so they implemented this rule. Well you don't really have to play, just go to the casino's counter and asked for receipt (as like you want to play in the casino). Once received the receipt, go down back to lobby and present the receipt to the bus conductor. Then you are free to board into the bus.
Note : Starting 2015, some of the resort hotels like Wynn, City of Dreams and etc, already suspended their free shuttle "departing from" the resorts between 5pm-8pm unless you are member, hotel's guess or spending money in their resort. However shuttles "to" the resort still work as usual.
It was totally a new experience to us!! Imagine, as a Muslim we are prohibited to gamble but in Macau, we entered the casino hall. People who saw us might think, what are these muslim's ladies doing here (as it's quite obvious since we wore "shawl" and covered our hair). We were like an alien there. Of course, we felt a bit afraid and guilty to enter the casino hall however all that provides me with one in a lifetime experience and at least I got a chance to witness the gambling scene in LIVE. (Kat Genting tak bole masuk casino kannn...)
Once successfully got the receipt, we back to the queue and waited for the shuttle bus.
Around 15mins before 8pm finally we managed to board into the bus and reached Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal just on time before our departure.
Night ferry ride was not very pleasant to me. Maybe because I was already tired, I had nausea. Just tried to sleep along the journey back to Hong Kong. After an hour, we reached TST Ferry Terminal, Kowloon and walked back to our hotel.
Finally we reached our room nearly at 10.30pm. We were really exhausted plus our feet started to pain. Nor's condition was the worst as she got blisters on her feet (That's why comfort shoes is very important when you had a long walking distance). Luckily I brought "minyak gamat", so Nor put on the oil to her blisters (remember in my earlier post on preparation, I mentioned that medicine is one of important things to bring along during travel. We never expected when we could get injured right?). After took shower and performed Jamak prayers, we made a Maggie mee and Nestum drinks for supper before went to bed.
Tomorrow would be another long journey with of course... lots of walk, walk, walk.
Well, this was basically how we spent our one day trip in Macau. We really enjoyed ourselves and it gave a different experiences as this trip was full of glamorous, glitzy and lavish places. But there's also historic places with different culture like in Senado Square. It was impressive. Not forgetting our 1st time visit to casino hall.... However to be frank, for me one day is just enough as besides the majestic hotels and building, nothing much attraction there. One day should be enough to cover all places. Unless you want to spent quality time in the lavish hotels and gambling, then you can spent more time. So that was it, finished my post for 2nd day.
