So it is time for some of the GP stuff. We planned to attend the qualifying on the Saturday and then of course we would be attending the race the Sunday . The Saturday we planned to use as a test to see how long it would take to get to the circuit race day . We got all the info as to which train to catch, which station at the hotel to use the Saturday morning so we were set , went to the underground, caught the metro to the train station, all going well we thought still having about 10 minutes till the train a arrives . The station was packed and lucky for us the train arrived and we got a place on the first train this was great we thought as there were plenty of people still standing waiting for the next train only to find it was the wrong train , this we found out when after 40 minutes we had not reached the station we needed to get off at and we were now way out of Barcelona deep in the country side never the less the Spanish country side is stunning . We decided to get off at the next station which was a good 40 minutes past the time we were supposed to have arrived at the Mont Merlo station where we were supposed to disembark , luckily for us we were just in time to catch the train going back and this one actually stopped at the right station. Even after the unplanned outing to the country we were on time for the qualifying -O -O So here we go for the GP fans

Of course the circuit name
