Chemnitz

We took two comfortable trains to get here and it took just under three hours.  We caught a taxi from the station and got a great guy who tried his hardest to speak English.  Anyway once he found out we were here for the MotoGP he got onto his iPad (while driving) and showed us pictures of Lorenzos crash and then said he was into Go-Karts and showed us footage of Go-Karts going around Sachsenring and a picture he had cut out of him in a Go-Kart which was in the newspaper.  He was great.  We got out of the taxi and Steve yelled to us from his room.  He had arrived 10 minutes earlier after doing two laps of nurnberg racetrack on the way - one in the hire car and one in a race car.  He loved it!
This place is great - it's a castle and after a drink with Steve, we unpacked and then Peter and I got a push bike and went for a ride around the golf course and up into the forest.  It's beautiful but then the skies opened and we rode back getting soaked but it's not cold so all is good.   YOU SHOULD HEAR THE THUNDER!!  Scared the bejeebers out of me!

Just finished an awesome meal and some red wine with Steve and we are ready for bed.  Up early tomorrow to go to the track!!

PS: Ignore the times on the blog - I don't know why it says that date and time but as I type this it is 8.40pm on Thursday night (5.07.2012) here and it is 4.11am in Adelaide (6.07.2012)
Also: if you buy a pizza in Amseterdam - they don't cut it!
