Monday, 8th/Tuesday, 9th June 2009 – Zeltingen-Rachtig, Traben-Trarbach, Bernkastel-Kues, Erden, Wehlen, Urzig, Jezus-Eik, Days 5 and 6 Monday dawned sunny and fine, so we had a late, leisurely and extremely good breakfast. The hotel specialises in organic produce from the immediate area as much as possible and also various smoked and home-cured meats and fish….

Travel 2009 – Hockenheim, Zeltingen-Rachtig, Days 3 and 4
Saturday, 6th/Sunday, 7th June 2009 – Hockenheim, Zeltingen-Rachtig, Days 3 and 4 Saturday was a busyish day, with qualifying and one race, though it could have been worse. The weather wasn’t too good, but again that was pretty immaterial really. It had been an odd sort of race, with quite a few unexpected incidents, including…
Travel 2009 – Hockenheim, Days 1 and 2
Thursday, 4th/Friday, 5th June 2009 – Hockenheim, Days 1 and 2 It’s been a long time since we last did a road trip of any great note, probably because flights are so much cheaper these days than when we first started travelling to races in Europe quite so frequently back in 1989. Some of these…
Food 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London
Saturday, 18th April 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London We’re not eating out much this year but yesterday was a special event (A’s Birthday celebrations) and she’s been hankering after eating at Locanda Locatelli almost as long as it’s been in existence. So, a table was duly booked for lunch yesterday and ten of us assembled…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Berlin, Day 4
Monday, 8th December 2008 – Dresden, Berlin, Day 4 Monday was a day when we didn’t have a great deal planned apart from getting to Berlin for our flight back. As that wasn’t until much later in the day, there was no great rush, although Steffy had requested lunch in Berlin, presumably just in case…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Day 3
Sunday, 7th December 2008 – Dresden, Day 3 Sunday dawned reasonably bright and sunny while we ate breakfast: It was just as impressive as the day before: By the time we’d worked our way through that lot, the weather had turned and it was hideously soggy, with the rain coming down almost horizontally. It also didn’t…
Travel 2008 – Dresden, Day 2
Saturday, 6th December 2008 – Dresden, Day 2 After a good night’s sleep under a wonderfully soft goosedown duvet, we met for breakfast in the restaurant Maurice (now the Moritz). Breakfast just served to reinforce the point that this was a wonderful hotel, with all sorts of extras from Nurnberger Rostbratwurstchen with mustard to a…
Travel 2008 – Berlin, Dresden, Day 1
Friday, 5th December 2008 – Berlin, Dresden Day 1 The Sixth Annual Girls’ Weekend Away (otherwise known as the “Credit Crunch be Damned!” GWA) was, I think, a success. Which was probably just as well as I did most of the organising. Anyway, enough of blowing my own trumpet, as it were. What happened and…
Travel 2008 – Fareham, Winchester
Saturday, 29th/Sunday, 30th November 2008 – Fareham, Winchester The weekend was busy, busy, busy, but also reasonably productive. Saturday we got up reasonably early, I collected some stuff from the garage (my car is in because the rebuilt gearbox has failed – still under warranty thankfully – as has the steering rack, which is not…
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,…
