Hi From Wales! - Dr. Eunos - 06-09-2013

Ok, ok a few more photos from today - most of my better photos are on my better camera and will not be up-loaded until we get home but I do have a few more from the phone to post.

We were opposite Alonsos` garage just underneath the Tifosi, so when they pulled out the giant Ferrari flag I was compelled to show our flag too :haha:

Hi From Wales! - Dr. Eunos - 10-09-2013

OK so we had 3 days at the Autodroma in Monza and also a very enjoyable evening with `Topone` and friends in Monza on Saturday night, many thanks.
Yesterday we travelled from Bergamo to Lake Garda and Sirmione and down to Maranello where I got to drive my first ever Ferrari. Today we are heading to Pisa to try and sort-out a dodgy tower Lol

Some more photos from our very enjoyable trip in your beautiful (except the terrible state of the roads...) country:

Hi From Wales! - Dr. Eunos - 10-09-2013

Yes very enjoyable evening Topone, thanks to you and your good lady for being perfect hosts and really great to meet you and your friends.
I did not know I was going to drive one either but Tina insisted and who am I to argue with the boss? Lol! We had a great stay at the Great Western Resort hotel in Maranello, lots of swimming and sun bathing yesterday and this morning then another trip to the Ferrari factory, Scuderia Ferrari F1 and a little spying at the Fiorano test-track-cool!
Then Tina bought a red leather Ferrari hand-bag (dont ask the price!!)
Today we have had an awesome drive from Maranello to Livorno over the mountains, seriously good fun - will upload the photos from Tinas phone later this evening, but here is one from our hotel here.

Hi From Wales! - Dr. Eunos - 12-09-2013

OK so yesterday we said a sad goodbye to our beloved Italia and had an over night stay in Menton, France but it is not all bad news :cry2:

This was the view from our Hotel in Menton, we had a good swim in the Med before breakfast:

We drove around to Monaco and did 3 laps of the F1 course (in rush-hour traffic) including a few full throttle blasts through the tunnel yay!!

Here is the car outsie the Ras-Cas Cafe:

Then today we came back to Italy then up to Torino and the Mont-Blanc tunnel in the mountains and tonight we are in Annecy, so far we have clocked 3,748 KM on the trip, tomorrow we hit either Reims again or maybe ***** Paris.

More photos from today I will add later, if anyone is interested still?

Yes,yes yes,more photos please,and thanks for your daily trip update... Smile

ps: why you come back in Italy from MC to go on Monte Bianco Tunel?? Route Napoleon would have been better option...

Hi From Wales! - Dr. Eunos - 12-09-2013

I know what you mean about today`s route being a little strange Gentlemandriver but the power of sat-nav... it said the drive was one hour less time the way we went, we had the roof up air conditioning on and 130Km/hr most of the way.
But the views were spectacular anyway so no big shakes.
Some more photos from today here: (next post)
