The road back to civilization is a hard one. It is supposed to be an easy peasy walk across the border from Zhuhai to Macao, but it was made complicated when you are travelling in a group of 19 pax!
First, we had to settle the problem of the 16 pieces of luggage! We were swarmed by "porters" bearing big trolleys and wanting to "help" us to bring our luggage over as soon as we alighted from the bus.
Bickering ensued...I am lost in their heavily accented Chinese...and just let the guys in the group handle it. It was decided that this is how we are going to bring all the luggage over...
I am truly impressed with the ingenuity of this simple idea of stacking the luggage up on a single plank of wood with wheels! Now, you may ask why we need to do this, and the reasons are:
- There were kids and old folks in the group, so each adult may need to lug 2 luggage.
- The immigration booths are separated by narrow fences and it will be difficult to drag a big luggage through it, let alone 2 luggage.
- We were swarmed by really die hard people who really wanted to make a quick buck out of us! And we will probably not be allowed to leave until we pay them something!
It was with a joyous heart when I finally cross into Macau - land of the casinos and pork chop bun and portuguese egg tarts :)
I was even more joyous when I see the rooms in The Venetian!
Just to give you an idea how many people can fit comfortably into the sitting area....eh, and my dear family is not exactly on the small side! Ha!
The gorgeous bed is queen sized with that really princessy European curtains over it...I like!
The bathroom is bigger than my bedroom at home. I think at least 6 people can sleep on the floor of the bathroom!
Now do you believe me when I say the bathroom can sleep another 6 people??
Another close look at the living area, I really like how European it looks - all the mismatched stuff somehow comes together into a cosy area. Oh yes, I am so going to enjoy The Venetian!
