More class room sitting-still stuff this morning, then we drove a stage in a convoy, stopping every so often to walk the road and learn.
One of the scariest, most crash-y corners
Whaddya doing Danny? Huh Danny? Danny!
My cockpit.
The former phft got it. The latter, oh no guys.
It’s pretty god-y here eh.
Thank you for a lovely lunch ladies!
