Hello VTers. Please help me with the planning for my prewedding photo shoot in Macao. Is The Guia Fortress open on Monday (15/5/11) for early morning Sunrise photo shoot? I understand that the chapel has operation hours, but does the fortress/light house out side area has opening hours as well? Is there any budget accomodation (backpacker std) in the area of The Ruin of St. Paul? I have got the contact for The Central Hotel(Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro no 264 e 270), but it is still a 20 minutes walk for the bride to the Ruin. My best regards...Justanto

Hi! Need some help here.. I booked a package tour for my family with a local airline here in the Philippines & I have chosen Masters Hotel. However, sadly no airport transfer is included in the package. We will be arriving in Macau at around 10 in the evening on Oct18 and it's our first time to be going there. I have read posts about "free shuttle rides" to the casinos. Would we be able to take advantage of this even if we're arriving that late? If yes, to which casino should we be going? Masters Hotel is located at No. 162 Rua das Lorchas according to their website. I inquired about coach services from an independent travel agency & the "shared" ones cost USD60 already for a group of 5 one-way! I realy look forward to your replies guys. Thanks.:)
