It was a very early start, considering we were enjoying a wine tasting until late last night!
Then it was a long drive across to Monza.
We had been warned to leave in plenty of time as traffic can be very heavy – but we had a good journey [which means I didn’t get us lost] and arrived in the Parc de Monza early!
After lunch we then had a very short drive – but with plenty of manic traffic – to The Villa Reale, right in the centre of Monza.
It wasn’t quite the type of stately home we are used to seeing. It looked every nice from the outside – but once inside, “in need of renovation” would possibly describe it bes
t.
We then had a very fast [rallying I would say] drive just 8 miles to the hotel, followed by the rarest of things on this trip – a break of 2 hours.
Then we were off again, this time in evening dress to visit a BMW Mini dealer. He had given a lot of support to the event, and had been very instrumental in getting the access to the Monza race track. The short visit also included the unveiling of the new Mini Clubman – lots of testosterone filled the room as the men sat in/took photos of/ stroked and admired the car!!!
