Mr.Sam replied:
1. when you arrive at Macau Airport, please take the bus AP1 to get to Gongbei Port firstly. The journey is about one hour and costs MOP5. Go through the Gongbei Port, you could walk to the hotel directly in 20 minutes. Or, you could hire a cab driving you there in 2 minutes. Very close! If you take a cab from Macau Airport to Gongbei Port, the fare is about 50MOP, taking 30minutes.
2. you could walk to Gongbei Port, after passing through the port, you could take the free shuttle bus of the Venetian-resort Macau firstly. Then, hire a cab driving to the Pousada Marina Infante Hotel with a fare of MOP13. Tips: you'd better ask your hotel whether it supplies free shuttl bus from Gongbei Port.

Ms.Liv replied:
Not cheap as in GUangzhou or Shenzhen, but it also depends on if you are good at negotiation. Underground Mall in Gongbei, Duty free mall and shopping streets in Xiangzhou are good place to find clothes. Generally, you can buy one ranging from 50-150. Winter clothes may be a bit expensive.

In November I shall be visiting Zhuhai and I am interested in spending a day in the Antiques market area. I would welcome any info on this and also the possibility of hiring a car/driver for the day to pick us up at the HK ferry terminal.
Sep. 20,2009 03:00
Mr.Jamie replied:
That is not easy to find a car to pick you up from Hong kong to Zhuhai. Suggest you take airport bus or ferry to Zhuhai from HK airport and then take a taxi to the place you want to go.
Sep. 20,2009 04:57
Mr.Erik(Australia ) replied:
I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear: I'm looking for someone to pick us up at the Zhu Hai Jiu Zhou port (where the HK ferry berths) and drive us around that day. At the end of the day to drop us back at Zhu Hai Jiu Zhou port for our return trip to HK.
Sep. 22,2009 22:06
Mr.Jamie replied:
Yes, I see Mr Erik. Yeah, you can try to ask the taxi driver if he can offer this for you and ask for the price in advance. It is about 300RMB per day to rent a vehicle in Zhuhai per day (8 hours). Negotiate the price with the driver.
