After a late checkout from the Baiyoke and a half hearted final look round the market we were on our way to Don Muang Airport yet again, this time to catch our flight to Macau. We arrived early evening in the dark to an almost deserted airport, thankfully Howard had sussed out which bus we needed so all we had to do was get some MOPs out of the ATM and then find a shop so we could get coins as that is all the bus takes.

A free day in Hong Kong? You may be tempted to grab a tour into Macau. My advice? Don't bother! As a solo traveller, doing a tour seemed like a good idea at the time. This view changed very quickly. After an early start, we were all picked up and dropped off at the ferry terminal, with tickets handed out and a general wave in the direction we were meant to go in. We then had to sit and wait for the ferry which was a complete waste of time. Finally, the ferry arrived and suddenly hundreds of people all moved, en masse, down the gangplank towards it. It is the only time I have ever had a panic attack as I was completely crushed and couldn't move. I was just forced along with the crowd. ... read more
