Saturday 19th November Saturday morning dawned murky and horrible, so yet again the motorcycles were postponed. It was going to take a miracle to get them out at this rate. They were supposed to be racing on Saturday afternoon and hadn’t even qualified yet. Another attempt was scheduled for the afternoon, after all the other…

Travel 2008 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 8 – 11
Saturday, 14th/Tuesday, 17th November 2008 – Macau, Hong Kong, Days 8 – 11 I was still feeling pretty rough on Saturday morning so breakfast was a slice of white toast, two imodium tablets and a very milky coffee, before we eventually headed for the paddock.

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,…
