2010-04-09 Macau/Hong Kong

Date: 09-Apr-2010 to 15-Apr-2010
Flight: Jetstar Light (Singapore -> Macau -> Singapore)
Price: $141 return fight, including taxes.

The flight departed punctually at 9-Apr, 10-ish. I arrived at Macau International Airport at 1:30am. It was right in the middle of the night, all free shuttle buses from the Casino hotels were no longer operating at that hours. I need to decide fast on what to do for the rest of the night. I have the following options:
(1) Stay in the airport till dawn (silly, the airport is unlike Changi Airport, there is nothing in that airport!)
(2) Take a public transport to Casino Lisboa and stay the night inside the casino. (I don't gamble, so it would be quite boring to stay up late inside the casino)
(3) Take a ferry from Macau to Hong Kong.

In the end I decided to take a ferry to Hong Kong. The ferry terminal is only about 20 minutes walk from the airport, and the ferry took 1 hour to arrive at Sheung Wan. I arrived at Hong Kong at 4am, and I slept at Macdonalds till it started operating at 5:30am.

Price of Ferry to Hong Kong: HKD 176 (night price)
If you can decide when to return from Hong Kong, you can get rebate for buying a return ferry ticket. I paid only HKD 258 for a return ferry ticket.

Weather have been gloomy and wet for the past few days!
