  • Hockenheimring

    Vickas took Vicki and I to the Hockenheimring in Germany, the home of the German grandprix. There were no cars racing that day, just testing. But it was nice to see (in person) the track I’ve driven around in so many video games.

  • Melbourne

    I separated from the rest of the crew after leaving Tasmania and explored Melbourne on my own. I took my roller hockey skates with me so could cover heaps of ground in minimal time 🙂

    Rod Laver Arena

    The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)

    I jumped the barrier stopping the traffic from getting on to the Albert Park formula 1 track (which was being constructed a the time) and started timing myself to see how long it took me to skate around the track. Unfortunately I only made it about a kilometer down the track before one of the marshalls chased me down and told me to get the hell off the track 🙁
