Our plans for Europe later this summer are slowly coming together. The preliminary plans are as follows: We will be flying into Zurich on August 17th. From there we will be heading down south towards Italy where we will meet up with Alessandro and possibly a few other friends. The plan then is to drive along the coast towards Spain, and to make it to Valencia in time for the practice and qualifying the following weekend. Obviously we intend to stop in several cities on the way, although an exact selection has not yet been finalized. There are several sure bets though, including Monaco, St. Tropez, and Barcelona. Not expecting much from my favorite McLaren team through as far as the actual Grand Prix is concerned, as it seems the team's fortunes have been declining every single race since the start of the season. Hopefully they will improve at least a little bit, but nevertheless the race will be a lot of fun.
After the GP, we really have no time to spare since we need to be in Warsaw, Poland the morning after for my grandma’s 90th birthday. The Spain to Poland ticket is the only one we still need to book, so hopefully we’ll find a good deal as we did with all the other tickets so far. After spending a few days in Poland we intend to head down to Prague for the last few days, since it seems everyone but me has been there by now, so I suppose I’m way overdue for that. Tina is also contemplating a short excursion to Paris somewhere in-between all of this, which I think will be hard to pull-off but you never know. Sofie suggested that we stop by Budapest on the way to Prague, but I think this too will simply be too much for this trip. Prague will conclude our two-week trip and we will be getting back on a plane home.
Anyhow, I’m really looking forward to the trip down southern France and Spain. It has been a long time since I’ve been to the Cote d’Azure, otherwise known as the French Riviera. I’m sure plenty of things have changed, but hopefully I’ll recognize a few things here and there. The birthday celebration in Poland is also likely to be feast to be remembered. I think we need to do some planning as far as hotels are concerned soon, especially as far as Valencia in concerned since surely they will all be sold out soon. If anyone else wants to join us for the GP just ping me, the more people the merrier!
