Suzuka - Day 4

So finally it is race day, up at stupid o'clock to catch a 7am coach and arrived about 9.30am. I spent most of the day in my seat because so much was going on on the main straight... a ferrari race, a porsche race, the drivers' parade, the build up, the race, the winning ceremony and then a wee track walk down the main street and up the Esses. It didn't rain during the race, the race itself was average, not too much excitement, but it was a great day and unlikely to be something I do again.

I headed for the coach home at 5.15pm, boarded it at 5.45pm, but it took another 3.5 hours to get back to Nagoya. For some reason a million other people were trying to get home too, who'dathunkit?

Back to the hotel to greet Ms H in her bed snoozing... Mrs C and I had been directing her from Osaka Airport via train to Osaka, then Shinkansen to Nagoya were Mrs C collected her. They were then off touristing for the day. I didn't see much of Nagoya, but that's fine... more to see elsewhere!
