A day in Macau!
Macau, Macau, Macau. If you’re in Hong Kong and have the time, I’d definitely recommend you pop over to Macau. I wish I’d gone for more than a day trip. The area which I visit was just amazing and I feel you could easily spend a good few days just exploring the laneways. While Hong Kong has a bit of a British feel, Macau obviously has a huge Portuguese influence. I’ve never been to Europe but walking through the winding cobblestone laneways, I certainly felt like i’d been transported.

Just thinking about writing these posts has my tummy rumbling and wishing I could go back already!

If you are a lover of seafood, this place is a MUST. Fresh lobster,…

Travelling to & exploring Hong Kong whilst fat.
First up, I just want to remind you that these are all my own personal thoughts and opinions of the time I spent there. I also acknowledge my privilege of being a somewhat active smaller fat. I’ll talk about my experience in Hong Kong in general but will share more in-depth info in any posts dedicated to certain locations. Flying & Airports. The flight from Melbourne to Hong Kong is 9 hours. The longest I’ve ever flown. We chose to fly Cathay Pacific, economy. We booked 8 months in advance and flights cost about $700au return. I believe it was an Airbus 350 we flew on. Seating size wise, it was very similar…
