There’s a lot of concrete in Macau, many tall buildings, much noise and people almost everywhere, which is what made our “discovery” this afternoon so special. Needing to get out of the apartment for some fresh air, Elaine and I caught the bus to the sleepy, quiet village of Coloane on the southern tip of Macau. From there we walked along the beaches and rocks to Cheoc Van Beach, just the two of us, with a few fishing boats well off shore and the Chinese mainland in the western distance. Low tide, quiet, sunny, beautiful, perfect. At Cheoc Van Beach we found an outdoor café with two Brits at one table, a French family at another and one large, friendly dog. It was in every respect a perfect afternoon.
