Saturday, 8th/Tuesday, 11th March 2008 – Megeve, Days 1 to 4 I got home latish on the Friday night (that’s the trouble with going on holiday – there’s always a ton of stuff to do at work before you go but I’d promised so I did a 10-hour day), which of course meant I spent…

Travel 2007 – Macau, Hong Kong, Day 9
Monday, 19th November 2007 – Macau, Hong Kong, Day 9 Bloody BMW… Their post race party was very, very good indeed, which was why when I woke up I felt as if someone had sandpapered my eyeballs, my throat was sore and clogged and my nose was horribly blocked up. I could have used several…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 8
Sunday, 18th November 2007 – Macau, Day 8 I made another early start on Sunday, figuring that it might be interesting to get out for the warm up at 8 am and take some pictures of the WTCC cars as well as our boys. So I set the alarm for 7, got up, and gulped…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 6
Friday, 16th November 2007 – Macau, Day 6 Again we went out to take photos on a corner, though this time we took all our kit to the press office first. Then we grabbed the first available press shuttle bus and went to Hospital Hill, somewhere neither of us had been before. We got there…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 3
Tuesday, 13th November 2007 – Macau, Day 3 After a bit of a lie in (we took a sleeping pill each and didn’t wake up till after 10 – the second night of the trip is always the one where the time difference does your brain in, we find), we got up eventually, got ourselves…
Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 2
Monday, 12th November 2007 – Macau, Day 2 We got up latish, breakfasted, then mostly pottered in town, trying to sort out a few bits and pieces and run some errands. In this we had varying levels of success. A trip to the New Yoahan department store (which we had expected to find gone –…
Travel 2007 – Lisbon, Days 3 and 4
Sunday, 21st/Monday, 22nd October 2007 – Lisbon, Days 3 and 4 Sunday morning was just as sunny and we duly set off for the suburb of Santa Maria de Belém (known as Belém), to take a look at a variety of things. The day’s entertainment started quite early when about 300 people all tried to…
Travel 2007 – Lisbon, Day 2
Saturday, 20th October 2007 – Lisbon, Day 2 Saturday we had a late-ish breakfast then headed for the Praça do Comercio where we discovered that the princely sum of 17€ each we could play with the historic tourist tram, a splendid electric tram of some early vintage, which would take us for an hour and…
Travel 2007 – Lisbon, Day 1
Friday, 19th October 2007 – Lisbon, Day 1 Three facts stick in the mind after our visit to Lisbon: There are no flat surfaces in Lisbon – it’s always up or down. All statues of great navigators have a seagull permanently attached to their heads. It may be symbolic… It’s bad news when the bottom…
Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 2
Friday, 18th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Day 2 Sometime during Thursday night, the weather changed dramatically, the weather going from baking hot and sunny to damp, humid and stormy overnight. It wasn’t entirely surprising because I’d stood on the balcony after we got back from dinner and nearly been blown off my feet by a…
