It’s race day! We woke up and headed straight to the bus station to get to the other side of the river where the spectators are actually supposed to sit. We found a nice spot right on the beach, front row and center. The air show started and there were more incredible stunts and crazy things I’d never seen before, including a Qantas 737 fly-by. It was crazy to see such a massive plane flying so low that close to the city.
Right before the race started, some people sat right in front of us and made our great seats a bit worse, so we didn’t stick around too long after the initial race was over. It was way better to see the action from this side of the river, though; the planes were right in front of our faces! One guy, from Austria, became world champion just by qualifying the day before, so everyone had their hopes set on him, but he didn’t win.
Right before the final races, we HAD to get out of the sun because we forgot sunscreen and our skin was frying, so we headed back on the bus and back over to the hotel side to grab some lunch and finish watching the race in the shade.
Once we got back to the hotel room, I realized that I had the worst sunburn shorts I have ever seen! It was hilarious.
We explored the area a bit more, then spent some time in the hotel gym, followed by dinner and some TV (!!!!!). It’s been ages since I’ve seen cable…
