Monday 21st November Considering the lateness of the night before, I was surprised to wake up around 08:00, and even more surprised that I actually felt well enough to have breakfast. Lynne refused to move so I went alone, wondering if the rest of the party would make it or not. They did and we…

Travel 2011 – Macau, Day 4
Wednesday 16th November Wednesday we didn’t intend achieving much though we did have to go and collect the long lens from the locker in the press centre (my fault for leaving it there and not thinking that I would need it on Thursday morning and wouldn’t necessarily want to go all the way to the…
Travel 2011 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1
Time to blog (or even ramble I think) about the 2011 Macau trip (and time for my audience to run away screaming perhaps). Anyway… Saturday November 12th/Sunday November 13th We set off late on Saturday evening, flying out at 21:05 with those very fine folk from Air New Zealand. Now long haul flying is never…
Travel 2008 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 8 – 11
Saturday, 14th/Tuesday, 17th November 2008 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 8 – 11 I was still feeling pretty rough on Saturday morning so breakfast was a slice of white toast, two imodium tablets and a very milky coffee, before we eventually headed for the paddock. Anyway, having encountered the world’s most unusual bellboy on the…
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 – 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,…
