Wednesday, 11th/Friday, 13th November 2008 – Macau, Days 5 – 7 As ever Wednesday was the day it all kicked off with the traditional photo opportunity/PR stunt held at Fisherman’s Wharf in the afternoon. First though there were some shopping-related errands to run. Glyn wanted to look at the shiny new Apple store to see…

Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 4
Tuesday, 11th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 4 One of the best parts about using the Ambassador Club lounge is the view over the harbour, which was enhanced today by a fishing boat trawling just in front of the hotel. This had attracted the attention of one of the sea eagles (if my…
Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Day 3
Monday, 10th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Day 3 After a good night’s sleep, we got up latish, and went for breakfast in the Ambassador Club in the hotel. With a wide range of options, it was very good indeed, especially the freshly cooked omelette I went for. After that we set out to explore,…
Travel 2008 – Hong Kong, Days 1 and 2
Saturday, 8th/Sunday, 9th November 2008 – Hong Kong, Days 1 and 2 After a certain amount of panicked packing the night before, and the cancellation of all appointments on Saturday, we got off to a leisurely start after a late breakfast, loading up the car at 1 pm and heading for Heathrow airport, leaving Andrea…
Travel 2007 – Hong Kong, Day 10
Tuesday, 20th November 2007 – Hong Kong, Day 10 Tuesday got off to an even slower start than Monday, largely because it had all caught up with us finally. With a 4pm checkout time courtesy of my Priority Club Ambassador membership, we were in real hurry. We finished up sorting the photos so they could…
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 7
Saturday, 17th November 2007 – Macau, Day 7 Saturday used to be the day we didn’t have to do much. Saturday was entirely given over to the motorcyclists (who are all certifiably insane – these, after all, are also the men who race in the Isle of Man TT), and the demented locals, most of…
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 5
Thursday, 15th November 2007 – Macau, Day 5 After a latish night on Wednesday it was a bit of a shock to have to get up early and haul ourselves out to the track. However, a bit of research with the map the day before had proven to us that we were about a 15…
