After a night of sleeping in the lobby (read here about the Lobby Bed thingy), I began the day with the well-known Egg Tart (the Margaret's egg tarts at Cafe Nata, which is situated along the back lane behind the hostel). MOP7 for an Egg Tart, a bit expensive, but worth it! Very tasty! Yummy!
2 shops on the left of Cafe Nata is a shop selling all kinds of Hong Kong Deserts, yummy yummy yummy! Without second thought, I went into the shop and ordered a bowl of "Dang Dan" (Hong Kong-style Custard). Very delicious!
After the breakfast, I went back to Senado Square (where I have been on the first night). There is a Tourist Information Centre, a great place to ask for recommendations on where to go as a tourist.
I tried to communicate with the lady at the counter in Cantonese, but not for long, I realised that my "half-baked" Cantonese doesn't allow to complete the entire conversation, and I have to resort to use English. Sigh...Well, the lady at the counter is very helpful and patient with me.
As suggested by her, I went to A-Ma Temple and Penha Hill.

From A-Ma Temple, it took me a good 30 minutes to walk up to Penha Hill, when I reached the hill top, I was sweating like a horse. At that spot, I could have a good view of Macau Bay, and the bridges which links Macau Island and Taipa island (where the airport is).
