The weather, up until the Wednesday of our holiday, had been rather grey, with some rain here and there, which, fortunately did not spoil any of our plans.
But, Wednesday dawned and - hello sunshine!! And the lovely weather was to stay until the day we sailed back to the UK.
DH and I had a lovely walk around the lake onto which our chalet opened, it was about a mile circuit with lovely views...
Our chalet in close up...
After a quick lunch we set off again to see what was happening at the race track, as the following day the teams would arrive in earnest and, for those of us lucky enough to have weekend tickets, there would be a pitlane walk and a chance to meet the drivers!
Well, the circuit was a lot busier, with the podium being prepared - please note the Canadian flags, not sure what that was about...
The media circus had arrived...
More Ferrari lorries....
The safety car was being prepared...
We were, by this time, very excited indeed! The next few days would be spent at the race circuit, so we nipped into Lidl in Malmedy (again, a town heavily affected in WW2 but now very pretty and peaceful) to stock up and then back to the chalet for an early night.
Back soon hopefully with news of our adventures in the pitlane!!

Oh how the excitement is building! I'm so happy that you get to enjoy all this! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteFun times! I'm enjoying your story of the races since I know next to nothing about racing or NASCAR here in the US.

Aha! I have scrolled back and discovered that my guess was correct! [only because I remembered past posts in which you shared your enjoyment of the Grand Prix :) ] I am enjoying your first hand report, Helen! xx
ReplyDeleteI am a total ignoramus where car racing is concerned, your virtual tour here and on your latest post is quite en eye opener.I have also enjoyed these snapshots of some really marvelous bits of scenery.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!!
