Thursday 18th April 2024...time to get this party started...

just had to stop and get a shot of the scenery...with the scooter in of course...

we've made it...hang on...someone's missing from this picture!!..

I'm always grabbing some random guy/girl and getting him/her to take a picture...

ok...everyone is dressed for summer except me...I've just ridden 11 miles from the apartment and it ain't that warm...

this is the melee that was waiting for us at the main signing in entrance to the Vespa Village...

and we've just been told that the gates don't open until 11:00 and it's now about 10:20...

the organisers having another meeting to discuss what to do for the best...10:30 it is then...

as I was too busy with the camera Di & co snuck in ahead of me...

it wasn't too long and I was through too...

and this is why we decided to arrive on Wednesday...there's at least 500 people the other side of that barrier...

fellow Brits...

Di making the most of the sunshine...

we're here...we're booked in...let's grab our goody bags...

Princess Di...

collecting the very infamous goody bags...
