Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 8

Sunday, 18th November 2007 – Macau, Day 8 I made another early start on Sunday, figuring that it might be interesting to get out for the warm up at 8 am and take some pictures of the WTCC cars as well as our boys. So I set the alarm for 7, got up, and gulped…

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 – Macau, Day 5

Thursday, 15th November 2007 – Macau, Day 5 After a latish night on Wednesday it was a bit of a shock to have to get up early and haul ourselves out to the track. However, a bit of research with the map the day before had proven to us that we were about a 15…

Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 4

Wednesday, 14th November 2007 – Macau, Day 4 Wednesday as ever was the day when things really kicked off. We made a reasonably early start, but Glyn was missing in action this time, having overslept, That’s what he gets for turning up a day later than us. The same effect 24 hours later! So Lynne…

Travel 2007 – Macau, Day 3

Tuesday, 13th November 2007 – Macau, Day 3 After a bit of a lie in (we took a sleeping pill each and didn’t wake up till after 10 – the second night of the trip is always the one where the time difference does your brain in, we find), we got up eventually, got ourselves…

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 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone, Saturday

Saturday, 10th Jun, 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone Again the day started early, with Glyn (aka Megamarshal) leaving for the circuit at 7am, followed by Wendy and Jane arriving at the house to pick up the two spare hospitality passes we had. We were supposed to be having them on Sunday, but a shift…

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 2005 – Germany

5th September 2005 A Weekend At The Races So we had quite a weekend in Germany. For those of you who want to know about it, here it is! It isn’t all cars… Thursday didn’t start off too well, with the damn car having another nervous breakdown, and me ending up having to coax it…
