In the afternoon we visited the Protestant Cemetery and the Camoes gardens and walked back to our hotel, visiting an open-air market and several interesting buildings on our way.

We had dim sum for lunch.

The Old Protestant cemetery, established in 1821. Before that time the Protestant had to bury their dead outside the city walls.

The Fundacao Oriente, an 18th century country villa

The Camoes Gardens

The Camoes Gardens are a memorial to the 16th century Portuguese poet Luis de Camoes, who is said to have written his masterwork Os Lusiadas in Macau. The gardens are a pleasant, shady place, where many people gather for a chat or to play Chinese Chess.
