We only went to Macau for me to do the bungee Jump but Ruth was happy to go when she realised that we would get 4 more stamps in our passports :) it was a job and a half to get there in time for my jump. We arrived at the Ferry port with plenty of time but all the standard seats had sold out for the next 3 ferries so we made the executive decision to go first class. It was a little on the posh side with a meal, nice big comfy seats ect , we didn’t look out of place in our shorts and sandals.

No going back only 764 feet of air between me and the ground

Well the jump!!! Its was AMAZING. As you can see from the photos I was absolutely petrified, but hey at least I had a good reason to be scared, I think anyone would be if they were about to jump off a building 233 meters off the ground with a piece of elastic around their legs. So glad i did it, i would go as far as saying it’s the best thing I’ve ever done can’t wait to get to NZ now and do the Sky dive.

The rest of Macau is a lot calmer that Hong Kong with a more relaxed feel. However we did get lost walkin round the island. On the map it looked like 2 roads connected but they didn’t and we ended up walking round the whole of the grand prix circuit which doubles a road when its not in use... that was fun.
