Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9. Getting to the track on race day wasn’t quite as simple as the day before. We set off at around the same time, but traffic ground to a halt about 2km before the motorway exit we needed to take. The first kilometre took us [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8. The next morning we left Maranello behind, heading along the Riviera towards Aix-en-Provence, on the way to Troyes. We didn’t have the time to stop off in Cannes or Monaco as we had planned, but the drive was smooth enough. Reaching France also meant that I [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7. The next morning we joined up with some guys from South Africa and New Zealand to be guided around the Lamborghini factory, museum and private collection, the Pagani factory and showroom, the Ferrari Museum and an external tour of the Ferrari factory by our effervescent guide Francesco. We [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. The next morning we headed down for a delicious buffet breakfast, which we ate to the sounds of Pavarotti on the stereo and F1 cars testing in the background – I’ve never seen George look so satisfied! We headed off to locate a self-service laundrette to wash [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. The next morning we were once again up bright and early to head back to the track. The party atmosphere was in full swing and the walk in was entertaining enough to keep us from thinking about the blisters on our feet. This time when we arrived at our stand [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3 & 4. We arrived in Stezzano, a small village on the outskirts of Bergamo – this was to be our base for the Monza Grand Prix weekend. As usual for Grands Prix, accommodation close to the track is nearly impossible to come by, so we chose a hotel about 45 mins [...]
Parts 1, 2 & 3. From Amsterdam it was time to hit the road again, and head down through the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and finally into Italy where we would pause for another few days. We collected the car at Schiphol airport, loaded Wiesbaden into the GPS as our first destination and we were on [...]
It’s been a long time since I published any posts about our honeymoon last year. After the first couple of posts, which you can read here and here, the project took a different turn as I decided to turn the story into an illustrated book as a Christmas present for my hubbie. Using the software from [...]
Read Part 1 here. When you turn off the motorway to head up the mountains through Adenau, the road gets a little twisty – well really, a lot twisty! It seems to be an endless series of hairpin bends joined by long sloping curves. There’s no way to rush on this road – not unless [...]
This is the story of our honeymoon; a long story, so I will break it into several parts. When planning the European road trip for our honeymoon there were three specific events that we wished to attend, firstly we had booked a madcap lap of the Nordschliefe circuit at the Nurburgring in Germany. From there [...]
