Okay. I gotta get China down here so I can write on the plane tomorrow about Greece cause Greece is pretty cool, at least Athens. What a freakin day!
Alright uh...right. Macao marked the first time for ole AT to step foot in a casino. I can't say I became a monster because the budget we're on did and would not allow for it. Given the right time and place and right budget, like unlimited, yes..I could make room for another bad habit. We hit up the Grand Lisboa, the Wynn, and City of Dreams.
Bonnie(B)treated us to a show in the middle of our Macao experience. We went to see The House of Dancing Water. Google it. Actually don't. Fly to Macao and go see it. Right up there with the Cirque de Soleil so I'm told. I could devote an entire blog to this alone but it's 12:30 Athens time and I gotta gotta gotta rap up Hong Kong like now!!! Oh, and then...wait. We actually had quite possibly my favorite dinner up to this point, not including or excluding the one we just had in Athens(more on that hopefully mañana). This is a little lesser known place I am sure called Restaurante Espaco Losboa. Traditional Potuegese cuisine. Cod fish cakes, clams in white wine, olive oil and garlic(ffffreshhhhh) and fish served with their heads on so you can look at them while you dig out their cheek(best part)! And I had an asparagus soup that puts Steven and Spencer's both to the test. Yeah? I said it. Pitcher of housemade sangria and welcome to Macao kiddos. Go there. You'll thank me. After our overly indulgent lunch(every lunch so far) we picked up one of B's favorites at the bakery/cafe next door. Another authentic Portuguese dish of egg tarts at Lord Stow's Bakery and Cafe. Light pastries filled with a room temp egg custard. Ah. Yes, please. Day 4...Macao. Done and frickin done. Then we hydrofoiled our asses back to HK and called it a day and a killer one at that!
Day 5 we chilled, shopped, ate(can't remember at this point) and relaxed with our friend Bonnie, I mean B. We are so grateful for her generosity, hospitality, and splendid job of putting together the most memorable 5 days we've ever had. Thank you so much Bonnie for the wonderful time in your wonderful city.
Now I gotta peace out and catch up to Carrie on the shuteye. Flight to Paris @ 10:30am mañana and hope to give you all a post on our day we just spent in Athens. Wowsers. Acropolis what?!
I don't think a single post, even the ones before we left Greenville, have had an accurate time on when they were posted/written. Which sucks cause I definitely don't have any clue on what day/time it is anyways. So I guess it's kind of indicative of the trip in general. So in other words, disregard the time especially and maybe even the date. Damn technology, can't keep up with the Turners, ya heard?! Next stop Paris, next post Athens. Stayed tuned friends...
PEACE AND G'NIGHT
Hahaha... Love it! You missed the Dim sum lunch in Happy Valley and the American Peking dinner with Mel and Ryan on the last night!!! (PEKING DUCK!!!)
ReplyDeleteNot posting pics is killing me too!!! I have some I can post, but I'm not allowed yet! :(

Hey B. My eyes were shutting on that last post. I'm def not going to leave out the last day, American Restaurant in particular. Carrie and I will fly back to China and bop you on the head if you post pics on FB and steal our thunder!!!! Don't you dare Bonnie Lim!
