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 6
Friday 18th November Again the day was mostly taken up with the motor racing, which won’t of course come as the slightest surprise to anyone who knows me. This time we were out at Sao Francisco at the”green house”2, a house that was bought by the government to stop development there. In its time it’s…
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 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/Food 2005 – Macau
Saturday, 12th/Tuesday 22nd November 2005 – Macau We wasted a lot of the day at the airport, but it was worth checking in early to get the extra legroom seats on the plane. Virgin now sell these seats, at £50 extra each. They were, however, doing a promotion of buy one get one free, so…
Travel 2004 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1
Sunday, 14th November 2004 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1 The best way to fly long distances is definitely with the aid of narcotics! Friday’s flight was only 11 and a half hours, which is even better really than the usual flying times. I can only presume there was a tailwind or something, but…
Travel 2003 – Macau, Day 3
Monday, 10th November 2003 – Macau, Day 3 We’d resolved to take it easy this time round, so today we didn’t do much at all in the morning, apart from take a late breakfast so we wouldn’t need to bother with lunch, and then indulged in a little light sight-seeing. The Macau Monetary Authority had…
Travel 2003 – Macau, Day 2
Sunday, 9th November 2003 – Macau, Day 2 Still somewhat jet-lagged, we wandered down to breakfast late, having already watched some of the day’s activities on TV in our rooms – most notably the Mini race that they seemed to be having trouble starting, never mind finishing. The idea of racing Minis around here is…
