TUESDAY - MACAU 
COLOANE

Another walk I was interested in was in Coloane Village. The only way to really get there on public transport is by bus. It was a 45 minute ride.
I have mentioned before that the Chinese people are short. When I got on the bus to go to Coloane I had to stand at first until a seat came open. When standing my head was up again the roof of the bus.
Largo do Presidente António Ramalho Eanes is a central pedestrian hub that connects many old lanes and streets of the small village in Coloane.
Coloane Village is far away from the hustle and bustle of urban Macau and the casinos and resorts.
Some colorful residences.
Yeah, yeah, another temple. This one is the Sam Seng Temple, built in the fourth year of Emperor Tongzhi's reign. It was rebuilt in 2002 after a disastrous storm.
More piles of fruit.
The Chapel of St. Francis Xavier. With all the bright colors it looks like Barbie's dream church.
A quiet alley.
Not all shrines are big.
The ancient Temple of Tin Hau in Coloane is the oldest on the island.
Three Chinese people walk onto a bar. There's a joke there somewhere.
¿Donde está la biblioteca? Aquí.
The Coloane Pier used to be a crucial public ferry terminal between Coloane, Taipa and Macau Peninsula before bridges and reclaimed land connected the three areas.
Walking back toward the Largo do Presidente António Ramalho Eanes.
There are a lot of metal and wooden shacks around and then there is this, which looks a lot fancier. I'd rather live here.
Cenral Térmica de Coloane Antigo is the former Coloane power station. It's kind of small but they probably didn't need to generate that much power back then.
The ride back was only thirty minutes. The display at the front and the recorded stop announcements were in Cantonese, Mandarin, Portuguese and English.
This car, which seems to be advertising something, was driving down the street blaring some sort of annoying music. The cops pulled them over.
Time for dinner. I looked around for some place to eat but didn't see anything that either looked good or that I would be able to navigate in English. Since I was back in a casino area I figured I'd just find a restaurant in one of them. This is the Round-The-Clock Coffee Shop in the Grand Lisboa Hotel. Remember the Grand Lisboa? It was that tall hotel that the cannon was aimed at in the fort.
I'm not sure why they call it a coffee shop. It is a full-on restaurant. I started with a Caesar salad and for main course had this Portuguese baked filet of seabass with olive and tomato sauce. It was very good and since it was Portuguese I count that as local food, even if I had it in a casino resort restaurant.
One trick I did was using a free resort shuttle to get from the ferry terminal to places closer to where I wanted to go. I took advantage of the Wynn shuttle.
Just a quick peak inside the Wynn Macau.
Time to go back to the ferry.
The full name of the terminal is Terminal Marítimo de Passageiros do Porto Exterior.
The Super Class passengers get to wait in this luxurious waiting area with comfy leather couches.
