Back to Baku 🏎️🏁

We flew out of Tbilisi, Georgia this morning to return to Baku, Azerbaijan for the Formula One race. It’s a short flight of about an hour so easy peasy. We were pleased our room was ready and we were able to settle in.

It was a rainy day and since we were here last week, we didn’t feel the need to rush out sightseeing. We decided to check out the track and figure out at which gate we would be entering. Lucky thing we brought our umbrellas because it did start to rain quite heavily, but that didn’t stop us.

Brad is beyond excited to be here. He’s a longtime F1 fan and went to the Montreal Grand Prix years ago. I’ve been to the Indy in Toronto with him but never F1.

It’s about a 45 minute walk to the track from our hotel, which will be good exercise for us. Despite the rain, workers were everywhere setting things up and sponsors were setting up their booths.

After walking around for a couple of hours our shoes were sopping wet. Given the forecast is iffy for the next few days, we thought it prudent to buy ourselves waterproof hiking shoes. No sooner did we decide that when we spotted a Timberland store with a 50% off sale! We’re all set now, rain or shine.

We pick up our ticket package tomorrow.Read more
