At breakfast we were 'accosted' by an elderly English gent who has seen the bikes parked up.
"Are you the hairy bikers because they filmed at a local bakery which has now become famous?"
After saying our goodbyes we were on our way to Spa. Big queues as expected but although some traffic moved to try and stop us filtering the Police sorted us out and let us through.
Bonus for 2 lads from Yorkshire - we got parked for nowt as close as you can get.
Spa is a fantastic setting for motorsport.
Eau Rouge
We had the cheapest 'plebs' tickets which is very restricting in terms of viewing. Silver/Gold are the tickets to have. The local knowledge involved climbing up the forest banks to get some good spots.
Porsche porn...
We now had a choice to make. Do we stay for the end of qualifying giving ourselves 4 hours to get to the ferry ( a 3 hour journey). As it was heaving we were sure the exit traffic would be bad plus add any potential hold ups on the not insignificant remaining journey - we bottled it and watched qualifying in a bar outside the circuit.
Jenson creamed it :)))
One eventful ride later we are back on the ferry. It seems a lot longer than one week when we rolled in the opposite direction, but we are both agreed it has been eventful and very enjoyable.
To be repeated???
Let's see......
