GP for Sale!!!!

Hi all,

Humble apologies for not having blogged sooner but our connection went down as we approached Venice.

BERGAMO
Firstly what can I say about Bergamo? It's a beautiful city with fantastic coffee, but lacking in nice restaurants. We eventually found one the locals seemed to be using and it was a bit of a result! One downside was the noise. It was like sleeping on the main runway at Gatwick during the night as you could hear every plane taking off.

Our hotel (The Mecure) was great with a fabulous breakfast buffet (two tables long) and overlooking the old city walls.

We had to stop off on the way to Venice to get petrol and note that in Germany and Italy the V-Power is 100 octane. The GP loves it, and is quite spritely with it! Average speed today is 92.6mph.

VENICE
The weather in Venice at the moment is wonderful and warm, and we're having a bit of a wonder around the city.

We'll try to blog some pictures later, but at the moment the reception is poor and we are staying at the Holiday Inn Express (instead of the Holiday Inn as they are having to do some maintenance work on the Hotel and hence we can't get on to the Internet). We hope they sort it out by tomorrow otherwise they could have 100 plus (very angry jobbers) on their doorstep.

Oh and the GP for sale? Not ours..... No 1279 at the Brescia dealership. If anyone fancies a left hander and a small round trip of 1400 miles to get it?
