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 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 – Lisbon, Day 2
Saturday, 20th October 2007 – Lisbon, Day 2 Saturday we had a late-ish breakfast then headed for the Praça do Comercio where we discovered that the princely sum of 17€ each we could play with the historic tourist tram, a splendid electric tram of some early vintage, which would take us for an hour and…
Travel 2007 – Lisbon, Day 1
Friday, 19th October 2007 – Lisbon, Day 1 Three facts stick in the mind after our visit to Lisbon: There are no flat surfaces in Lisbon – it’s always up or down. All statues of great navigators have a seagull permanently attached to their heads. It may be symbolic… It’s bad news when the bottom…
Food 2007 – Ons Kabinet, Vught
Tuesday, 14th August 2007 – Ons Kabinet, Vught I didn’t get the mussels and frites last night – the restaurant I had in mind was closed on Tuesdays – but I’m not complaining because instead I ended up at Ons Kabinet, in Vught (next to my hotel for the week), which was wonderful… I opted…
Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 4
Sunday, 19th/Monday, 20th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Days 4 and 5 Sunday in Bucharest was just as nuts as Saturday had been with people running into barriers/tyre walls/each other and anything else they could find to hit. It all got messy and again we seemed to walk miles and miles, mostly up that damn hill…
Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 3
Saturday, 19th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Day 3 Well, it’s fair to say that Saturday in Bucharest started waaaay too early, with an 8.15 qualifying session. Really not what we wanted, but what can you do? That meant leaving the apartment at 7.30, in order to get to the press office and get organised in…
Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 2
Friday, 18th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Day 2 Sometime during Thursday night, the weather changed dramatically, the weather going from baking hot and sunny to damp, humid and stormy overnight. It wasn’t entirely surprising because I’d stood on the balcony after we got back from dinner and nearly been blown off my feet by a…
Travel 2007 – Bucharest, Day 1
Thursday, 17th May, 2007 – Bucharest, Day 1 Well, Bucharest… The sound of traffic chaos (engine’s revving, horns blaring, traffic cops blowing whistles) and of dogs, feral or otherwise, barking their heads off. The scent of honeysuckle mingling with poor drains and cigarette smoke. The sight of beggars with faces so wrinkled they could be…
