Our last visit of the day....
...was to the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha.
According to the Macau tourism website, the chapel was founded in 1622 by the crew of a ship that narrowly escaped being captured by the Dutch and then served as a point of pilgrimage for sailors about to embark on a dangerous voyage.
This was the only glimpse we had inside the chapel, as it was all locked up.
However, the views and sights from the area around the chapel were pretty fascinating...
The Macau Tower
Flags of Macau and China flying on a neighboring rooftop
Views of the casinos and other buildings in 'downtown' Macau
Bentleys in the neighbor's 'garage'!!
Then it was back to the ferry and time to say our good-byes and thanks to our guide.
Our return trip snack-- chicken salad roll, water, and a yogurty/custardy type of dessert.
Lovely views of Christmas lights coming back into the the Hong Kong ferry terminal.
Then we began our evening walk in search of dinner and some markets...
