Outrunning Typhoon Bebinca

We have learned about typhoons. These storms can be crazy and dangerous. There is one near Hong Kong and Macau at the moment and typhoon signals are put up everywhere. Today it moved from typhoon signal 1 to 3, which means some things close down like our roof top swimming pool :-( and the high level restaurants and rides, cable cars. When the signal reaches 8, all transport stops including ferries and planes, and many businesses. That was expected about 4pm today. The worst, most destructive typhoons reach signal 10. So we had to decide to leave Macau at the right time... Enough to enjoy our tour but not late enough to get stuck in Macau when the ferries stopped. So we left Macau mid afternoon instead of the evening and it worked well. Our hotel pool was closed but everyone was safe! We think we will be able to fly out ok on Thursday.Leggi altro
