Qualifying

We walked 5000k's yesterday - I'm sure!! but it was great, we walked the entire track, sat in all different locations around the track and watched all the classes doing their practice sessions.  Saw a few crashes and by the time we got back to our Hotel we were completely knackered.  We had a shower and as if we hadn't walked enough - we then walked into Westerbork to buy some sunscreen and an ice cream.  Slept like logs that night. 

Up bright and early this morning, drove to the track  and had breakfast at the Strubben Lounge where we are booked in for the weekend..  Sat in the grandstand for the Motogp qualifying and various other spots for other events.  We went mental when Casey qualified on Pole in the last three minutes.  Every one in the grandstand knew we were Aussies and barracking for Stoner. The drive back to the hotel was great.  We had four flags flying from the four windows and got cheers all the way.  Peter had a big flag flying out of the window and the passenger on a motorbike grabbed it as he went past so we were in hot pursuit to get it back!!  I was driving (the only sober one!)  and Steve was directing.  We caught up to the guy at the traffic lights and Steve jumped out and rescued the flag to the cheers of the crowd and thankfully the cops saw the funny side too.  We have just finished an awesome meal at the hotel.  Matt, Bec, Naomi and Renee - your ears must be burning - we had a good reminiss session.  The weather has been great.  Qualifying stopped for a while because of rain but it was so light, and we were undercover so it was no hassle to us. 

Tomorrow is racing - GO CASEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
