Saw Ramsey Street and the Grand Prix

Location: Melbourne
Weather: Hot n'Sunny

Went on the Neighbours Tour with my good English friend David. It wasn't that great to be honest. You just go to Ramsey Street, a real street called Pin Oak or something that looks different from the show and have fun seeing and taking photos of the houses and Erinsborough High. David had 2 free grandstand tickets for Thursday and Friday of the Melbourne Grand Prix and was kind enough to give them to me, so I went to that with him as well! I saw Michael Shumacher interviewed and nearly got his autograph, I also saw Rubens Baricello, Fisicella, Aussie star Mark Webber and did get the autographs of the Sauber drivers and owner. I found the racing pretty awesome as I've never seen motor-racing before and it was very fast and loud, there was no F1 on the Thursday, but the V8 Supercars, Carerra's and classics were good. Friday was great though as there were two F1 practice sessions, there were also about 10 times as many people on the Friday as on the Thursday. Schumacher broke the course record on his first lap, which was incredible!
