Disney On Ice

On January 2nd Jane and I went to Macau to watch Disney On Ice. We were invited along by Renee and Jemilla Harvey. We travelled by the Ferry and took a shuttle to the Venetian Hotel.

There is an actual canal in the hotel with gondolas and trained gondoliers who sing Italian ballads while you float along the water. The sky inside gives you the feeling of being outside.
I wasn't impressed with the lack of restrictions on smoking, even at the food court there were no signs posted and no one stopping anyone from doing it.




Featuring Cars, Lion King, The Little Mermaid and Tinker Bell


We had good seats. I was impressed by the skater who had to wear the Ursula costume and skate around.






Can you spot the drivers cleverly hidden inside the vehicles?

A great day out for the moms and daughters.

Macau

We travelled to the Macau SAR a few weeks ago. It was in the 90's but we started uphill and walked down and took rests inside the pretty Churches scattered about. Macau is beautiful I don't think that you can take a bad picture in the place. It was owned by Portugal for 400 years and is now in the hands of China. Elliot rode on an amusement ride that went up in the air! His first time trying something like that. We went to Walt Disney World awhile back and I am glad he was free because he wouldn't ride much. He was willing here in Macau so he might be ready for Dumbo at Hong Kong Disney now. I got a little seasick on the way out there. It is about an hour by ferry to Macau. I didn't know I would was that bad about motion sickness, now I know. We rode on the top deck on the way back and that made a difference we will remember for next time.








The video starts out with us taking the bus in Hong Kong then it shows us on the Ferry on the way to Macau. We ate at a Japanese restaurant had Ramen and salmon sashimi. We ate Japanese food run by people who were Chinese in a country that used to be owned by the Portuguese. I was filling out paperwork on the way back. You not only have to fill out the standard arrival/departure cards these days you have a separate health form you have to fill for the Swine Flu. Whenever you cross a border. 32 pieces of paperwork I filled out that week as we had just got back from Japan when we went to Macau. Picture slide show at the end. Ignore the different colored bars it should work.
