Sweet Getaway to Hong Kong & Macau (Episode 3)

Date of Visited: 16th September 2010

Macau (Part II)

After taking a break for half an hour (refer previous post), we moved on to our next destination, The Venetian Macau Resort Hotel.

Besides a large casino and 5-star hotel, it is also one stop for shop luxury stores. But what breathtaking is the Venice replicas. Built on the second floor, this Venetian themes comes with canal system and you could take for a gondola ride. You could feel like you are visiting Italy instead of Macau. What's the different is that you can avoid from the hot weather or even heavy rain, you still can stroll by the canals under the mesmerizing and impressive Venice faux sky.

So regret for not shopping more at this shop



This clock reminds me of Prague, Crezc Republic which I had not yet blog about it

Since The Venetian is the place for us to take pic but not shopping and gambling, we hang around for less than an hour. Outside the Venetian, we saw Hard Rock Hotel which was opened last year June.

We walk around Hard Rock Hotel for a short period of time before heading for the dinner.

This one took by me. Not copy and paste from other source. Nice or not?


I took this pic while waiting for bus. Outside The Hardrock Cafe. Damn nice and beautiful.

Our dinner for the night is in Cozinha Pinocchio, which serve Portuguese cuisine. It is located in Taipa Village by famous “Rua de Cunha” where there are numerous souvenir shops. We took shutter bus from Hard Rock Hotel to there. Then, a short walking distance before reaching the restaurant.

Another famous restaurant in Macau - Dumbo Restaurant.



This is the one we dine in.

Before back to the hotel, we stopby one of the famous bakery shop to buy their local biscuits and snacks. As the night is still young, we plan to walk around our hotel as we saw the night scenery is so pretty during our journey back to the hotel inside the bus.
