Macau Day Out

After spending the last 6 months of 2007 working in Macau I have not been overly fussed recently to use a valuable day off to visit the place, however when I had some friends overe recently from the UK a day's sightseeing was in order. With my tourist guide umbrella firmly in hand, we headed off round the city to see the sights, on what was probably the hottest day of the year to date. The tour took in the usuall must see sights (well of the PG13 rated tour anyway) stopping at Centro, the ruins of St Paul's Cathedral (why only one wall ever remained standing is still beyond me), the Fort, Tin Hau Temple, Fernando's (for what turned out to be breakfast, lunch and dinner), Macau Tower for the world's highest bunjy jump (not me - this time), and finishing off with a look round the Venetian and MGM Grand (there was no way I would let them get away without a vivit to the latter). Assorted pics are posted below and a fuller collection will be uploaded to the photo blog section when I get the time.
