Saturday 23rd/Sunday 24th October 2004 – London Well, the weekend was fun (if somewhat damp – torrential rain seemed determined to get us). The Raphael exhibition at the National Gallery was well worth the effort, and thoroughly enjoyable. I’d recommend it highly. There was a fine mix of different works, including some amazing ink drawings,…

Travel 2004 – Valencia, Spain
Friday 15th – Monday 18th October 2004 – Valencia, Spain We made a reasonably timed start, getting away from the filling station in Mougins at 9:00, which is just after the rush hour traffic dies down. It was really just a case of pointing the car at the Mediterranean and then turning right. So long…
Travel 2003 – Macau, Day 8
Saturday, 15th November 2003 – Macau, Day 8 Saturday is motorbike day – and we’ve all agreed we’re not going out there while they are on the loose, so we arranged to have a late start, not bother with breakfast and then do lunch at the Clube Militar de Macau, which is a very splendid,…
Travel 2003 – Macau, Day 7
Friday, 14th November 2003 – Macau, Day 7 Once again we went out track side, at least in the morning, spending some time at Sao Francisco Bend, which is interesting if somewhat distant from the actual track action. The photographers’ stand is about halfway up the hill, which means you need a long lens, and…
Travel 2003 – Macau, Day 6
Thursday, 13th November 2003 – Macau, Day 6 The first day at the track was entertaining, and we wandered out to Melco to have a good look around and take lots of photos. We didn’t ask for photographers access, but we were given it anyway. The reason we didn’t bother asking is that in previous…
Travel 2003 – Macau, Day 5
Wednesday, 12th November 2003 – Macau, Day 5 Today was a very lazy, easy sort of day, preparatory to the first real race day tomorrow. The last things you want is to be too tired to function when there are F3 cars whizzing past your elbow at the Melco Hairpin. We decided to take Glyn…
Travel 2003 – Macau, Day 4
Tuesday, 11th November 2003 – Macau, Day 4 Today we took the coach tour of the islands, as laid on by the Grand Prix Committee. The bus was a long way from full, with a couple from one of the other hotels, who seemed pretty unimpressed by everything, and an older lady who turned out…
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 1
Saturday, 8th Nov 2003 – Macau, Day 1 We arrived a bit hung-over from the sleeping tablets, though nowhere near as bad as we would have been without them I suspect. The people from Estoril Tours scraped us up at the arrivals area in Hong Kong airport, and shepherded us to the shuttle bus they…
