Macau Weekend

Hi Guys,

As promised here is our report on a weekend of R & R in Macau.

It turned out to be everything we hoped. The little hotel we stayed in was wonderful. "Pousada de Coloane" on Cheoc-Van Beach ,on Coloane Island. It is a small hotel with just 30 rooms. Everyone of them with view of the beach and looking across the bay to Heng Qing Island, China. We had plenty of time to enjoy a swim and relax by the pool. Eat unbelievable food and soak in the spa bath installed in our room.

This part of Macau is very quiet compared with the hustle and bustle of the rest of Macau. Perfect place really for our much needed rest time. Did you know that Macau now has more casinos the Las Vegas?

We chose to have dinner sitting on our Balcony. The cool weather (Around 21 degrees) made it very pleasant.

In the morning if day 2 we did some walking. First from our hotel to Vila de Colcoane a small village with fishing huts built out in the water much like Tai O village on Lantau Island. The we caught a bus to Halc Sd beach with its black sand. Famous for Fernando's Restaurant. The walked via an amazing path built from granite, chipped from the sea wall to Jadins Village.

On the final afternoon, we walked around the City for a while, before heading home.
