7 weeks on holiday and my feet seem to be getting smaller ?

8 hour flight to Brisbane tonight, then on to Cairns Friday morning, and home to a bed that is comfortable, a shower that has plenty of pressure and of course, a car that's got decent power! Not that I'm complaining, 7 weeks of holiday has been a blast, it's just that I miss the simple things in life that don't always present themselves while on holiday, like a pillow that is not hard as a rock, or twice as high as it should be. I'm really looking forward to cooking up a big fat juicy steak, and sitting on the couch in front of the TV, trying not to slop it all down my shirt ☺ The only bummer is I have to go back to work on Monday.

Stripes, I think you must care, or you wouldn't have said what you did.

There are only 2 main theorys out there, the theory of evolution or the theory of creation. Simple, we either appeared by coincidence, or were created by something /someone. Obviously there are many, many arguments for and against on both sides. So the choice is up to you, Evolution or God, both beliefs are by faith. Man has not been around for millions of years to observe and document evolution. Man was not present to witness creation. You can study either, or both. But ultimately it is you who make the choice of which path you will adhere to.

Had heaps of fun at the Misano SBK's, had a paddock pass on Saturday, wandering around some of the pits, Checking out the work being done on the bikes between practice sessions, getting a few photos of the riders, checking out the manufacturer bike displays. Sunday we had seating in a grandstand 2 corners before the start/finish straight, sandwiched between the Ducati grandstand and the Aprilia grandstand, good spot, a lot of riders stopped/slowed there on the warm down lap including Max Biaggi, as you can imagine, the Italian crowd went wild ☺

Here's a brolly girl for those that requested one More on the way once I get a faster connection ☺ Things are pretty laid back here at Misano Adriatico, including my WiFi hookup

Please don't lock me out..........I don't like being left out....................

Here is a picture of a waitress that served us in Krakow, Poland. ☺

Left Nice on the train to Ventimiglia Today, change of trains at the French/Italian border to go to Genoa. Tickets cost 60 euro for both of us yesterday, bloody train strike in Italy today!!!! We are over an hour early thankfully and manage to get a "stops at all stations train" the last one for the day at 9:45 am. We get 3/4 there and the conductor comes through the train to tell us all that the next stop is the last, and the train ant goin no further! So here we are stuck at Sevona, which is about 60 klms short of our destination. By this stage I'm starting to stress,are we ever going to get to Genoa today? Next thing an Italian woman speaking good English wants to know if we would share a taxi to Genoa for 25 euro per person, 4 of us in total (she already had an Italian guy in) so for 50 euro we got to Genoa. Turns out she spent a holiday in Perth at cotteslow beach, me and my wife lived there in 1993, lol. Had to then get a bus from the city center to the airport to pick up our hire car that we had booked for the next 6 days. It was all a bit like the the movie, planes, trains and automobiles. Finally made it to our destination, Verona at about 6 pm, wallet feeling a bit lighter, but still in one piece, man wot a day!!!!

Arrived at Verona, Italy (in our Alfa Romeo Giulietta hire car), checked into our hotel apartment and received our WSBK tickets we bought about 6 months ago. ☺ Had to have them delivered after we left Australia, so obviously we couldn't have them delivered to our home. So it was a bit of a worry spending $500, and having a delivery to an address that we have never seen or been to. So very happy we have our tickets in our hot little hands, roll on this weekend. Our tickets give us access to the pits and paddock (limited release and we couldn't buy them on the day) We were prepared to just buy passes on the day if the tickets were a no show, but that would have sucked loosing the up close and personal feel. Off now to Pizzeria-Trattoria Vecchia Lira for some dinner. ☺

We were in Mugello in 2006 for the Moto GP, the Italian crowd were fantastic, having a massive party. After the race the crowd went wild (Rossi was on the podium) everyone invaded the track, it was a fantastic experience, the only bummer of the day was that Stoner had a massive highside and crashed out of the race. If you ever get the chance, go for it! ☺

Went to Monaco today, what a spin out. Seen it all on TV before, formula one and stuff, but man, is there obsene wealth everywhere you look in the marina and on the street. Made me feel like I had to go on who wants to be a millionaire so I could join in. Exotic cars here are sooooooooooo cheep, 200,000 euro (about $300,000 AUD ) for a brand new convertible Ferrari!!!!!!! Not that I've got a spare 300k lying around the house, but goes to show the exorbitant taxes and import duties we have in Australia. Saw so many Bentleys, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsches, AMG Mercedes, Rolls-Royce and some custom one off road bikes, my head was spinning all day. Walked through the tunnel that the F1cars drive through, a Convertible Lamborghini drove by while we were inside (bloody loud) Had a great time, it's off to Italy tomorrow for 7 days and catch the Misano Superbikes before we head back home. ☺

Pedrosa came 3rd :-)

I bought my car in Mackay and drove it to Cairns, it had been serviced in Mackay the week before, when I got it home I checked the oil. I totally freaked out, I couldn't see any oil on the dipstick, realized that the oil was so clean I could hardly see it. Or maybe I'm just a blind old bastard.

Marquez fell off again :-(
