Next destination: Belgium

Despite of the Italian consept of wc (just hole in the floor.. with porcelain edges if you are lycky) we would have liked to stay here a bit longer. However, the weather once again chose for us, as according to forecast it's only going to rain for next weeks. Therefore we are now heading towards north again and the next destination, and maybe also the last one on this trip, is going to be Belgium. Our route passes the Alps trough Brenner pass, so hopefully our poor caravan can manage the uphills and doesn't fall in the wind. To make the trip a bit easier we chose to use motorways instead of narrow, curvy and bumpy by-roads.

Our last Italian motocross moment was spent on Carpi track. It seems that Saturdays truly are the day to ride among locals. The pit was so crowded that some of the late-comers had to turn away. On the track, pilots were riding in line and the overall atmospere was a bit chaotic. However, if the rumors are true, this was a good practise for Belgium.

Generally we were supprised about the services available on major italian tracks. For example there are electric plugs freely available as well as showers, toilets (although only the whole-in-the-floor ones) and washing places for bikes. Maybe this is the reason why true pilots are camping on the pits while staying here. Our family-style caravan equipped with alcove was immediately part of the group.

So, thanks Italy, we enjoyed our short visit!
