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 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 2007 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1
Sunday, 11th November 2007 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1 Well, we’re here. Of the flight, there’s not much that can be said. It was the usual – watch a film, eat plastic food, take a sleeping tablet and wake up a couple of hours before landing… We got to Heathrow in good time,…
Travel 2007 – Lisbon, Days 3 and 4
Sunday, 21st/Monday, 22nd October 2007 – Lisbon, Days 3 and 4 Sunday morning was just as sunny and we duly set off for the suburb of Santa Maria de Belém (known as Belém), to take a look at a variety of things. The day’s entertainment started quite early when about 300 people all tried to…
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…
