So, we found our ferry (it was my idea to go to the china ferry terminal, as in the one for chinese for all the ferries to china - no English!)
After almost getting sharked for a ticket, the guy was actually standing blocking the entry to the main ferry company, we got our ticket, business class and all for the ferry to Macau.
After a short, fairly smooth 1 hour trip over to Macau we jumped off the ferry and headed to baggage claim, this in itself was not as easy a task as it should be.
Did I mention that this was the section of our trip where we didn't skimp on the accommodation? Here we were booked into the Mandarin Oriental, which means free transfer on the mini bus to the hotel, this was a welcome addition after our earlier effort with the bags.
We jumped on the bus for the 5 minute trip to the hotel, where we were greeted by the doorman who unloaded our bags and ushered us in for check in. Everything about
this place was class (Australian hotels - this is how you do it) No standing around in the foyer for check in, you are introduced to the duty manager who escorts you to your room with a large folder where you check in at 1 of your desks... Amazing. The room was gorgeous, and right next to the sands casino.
After a long day of travel (the buddha, luggage hauling etc) we were stinky and over it so the shower and a relax was amazing.
After a while we shot off for dinner where we had an amazing Thai dinner and then hit the Sands, Wynn and MGM Grand.
