Wednesday, 14th November 2007 – Macau, Day 4 Wednesday as ever was the day when things really kicked off. We made a reasonably early start, but Glyn was missing in action this time, having overslept, That’s what he gets for turning up a day later than us. The same effect 24 hours later! So Lynne…

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 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1
Sunday, 11th November 2007 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1 Well, we’re here. Of the flight, there’s not much that can be said. It was the usual – watch a film, eat plastic food, take a sleeping tablet and wake up a couple of hours before landing… We got to Heathrow in good time,…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Days 10 – 11
Monday, 20th/Tuesday, 21st November 2006 – Macau I woke early, worked on the report and photos, and caught up with Stephen Jelley in the foyer as arranged. Sadly, Stephen didn’t seem to have caught up with Stephen, and he couldn’t remember much (possibly including who he was and which way was up). He wasn’t helped…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Days 6 – 9
Thursday, 16th/Sunday, 19th 2006 – Macau Thursday saw the inevitable early start, though not as early as in some years. As we both had photographers’ access bibs, we decided that we would drop our stuff off at the press office then get the press shuttle bus to Melco, the Hairpin that is about three-quarters of…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 5
Wednesday, 15th November 2006 – Macau Needless to say, there wasn’t enough sleep. My alarm went off at 7.15, and I lurched off to the gym for a session on the exercise bike to try and combat the food excesses this place provides! After that it was breakfast followed by a shopping trip. Having discovered…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 4
Tuesday, 14th November 2006 – Macau Tuesday was a dismal sort of day weather-wise. However, we didn’t let that stop us. Breakfast was marginally better organised than it had been the day before, though the actual food was still poorly labelled, and there’s no decent bread to be had, only white that looks and feels…
Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 3
Monday, 13th November 2006 – Macau Monday I got up just before 8 and went off to investigate the hotel gym. It proved to be precisely 5 pieces of equipment, none of them a treadmill, on the 23rd floor, with the French windows open to the elements and more importantly the humid Macanese air. I…
Travel 2006 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Days 1 – 2
Saturday, 11th/Sunday, 12th November 2006 – London, Hong Kong, Macau Saturday went pretty much as you’d expect. We left for Heathrow at 12.30, and even taking the long way round we were there in plenty of time to hand over the car to the Purple Parking attendant (who, disappointingly, wasn’t at all purple) who takes…
