As our room was not ready as yet. We decided to head straight to the most iconic structure in Macao – Ruins of St. Paul’s!
After visiting the ruins, Kate decided that she was too tired for a climb up to Mount Fortress. So Tom took the challenge (for our readers!) and ascended the fort…
The view from the top of Mount Fortress was indeed breath-taking. While there, you may also wish to decide on a visit to the Museum of Macau…
After descending down from the Fort, Kate and I headed back to the streets in the general direction of Senado Square. Along the way we savoured the tender pork bun!
After some quick bites, we proceeded to the area close to the Maritime Museum of Macao but stopped along the way to catch sights such as the St. Dominic’s Church @ Senado Square…
Initially, we did not intend to enter the museum. However, as the sun started to bear down on us, we decided to go in – for a mere 10 MOP. Turns out to be a great decision as there was a good collection of exhibits and history about maritime in Macao (Portuguese & Chinese Maritime history too) for visitors to enjoy.

Following the visit, we headed back to our hotel and en-route, we took some scenic photos around the Sai Van Lake
Hotel Royal Macao was one of the best hotel we’ve decided to splurge on in Macao and here’s why…
As the weather was actually quite cold, the indoor heated pool just made the swim all that relaxing (after all that walking!). Snoozing in the comfy bed also revitalised us for the evening ahead as we checked out the glitzy hotels of Macao!
We then started to feel really peckish (Kate’s atas word for hungry) and we popped by Wa Fung dim sum restaurant. Turns out to be one of the best dim sums we had in a while!
To round off the night, we decided to head back to Senado Square to get some gifts and snacks for our friends and relatives. Along the way, we stopped by for some desserts – Red Bean Milk Pudding!
