not Taipei but Taipa!

Van HongKong+Macau-April2009

Indeed, the "unwind" activity of the hotel was nothing much: sipping and comparing several teas, while tasting chinese delicacies, all nice and yummy but not really thrilling, but we met Eliza Wong, Executive Assistant of the hotel; we informed discretely if an upgrade to a better room would be within the possibilities, and wham, we got a full deluxe suite 825, and HL gladly packed all the luggage and we moved in to our new location, heavenly! No doubt a movie of this suite will follow !!!

In the evening we had a delicious meal in the Chinese restaurant of the hotel, quite to our surprise the restaurant was well booked: obviously a lot of hungry stomachs from outside the hotel find their way over here. It was excellent food, for an absolutely reasonable price (and as hotelguest we even got 25% discount).

After a lovely quiet night, I worked on my file – though I was obviously quite tired, or the file was very boring, because I fell asleep while reading hehe! Or I'm getting old, like Peter UK, who's falling asleep in the middle of a conversation – by the way, Peter just turned 80, happy birthday Peter!!!

In the afternoon we took the hotel shuttle, and we strolled in Taipa (the island south of Macau), lots of chinese tourists there (probably most from Hong Kong), buying the local delicacies like mad (they were really slepping bags and bags of food, bought in Taipa!), and if you'd come to the island, you must visit the Rua do Cunha in Taipa: there is a bakery where the products are made on the spot, you can taste everything for free and it's an endless discovery of the richness of the Asian palette! More details: see the pictures! Don't come here when you're on a diet !
