All day - All night! WTF?
There is really no other way to put it! ;)
So nice to sleep at home for a night, but as usual I run out of battery on my phone during the grand prix and with no charger it makes life hard! ;) Time to run back to Fairmont, charge my phone and get ready to head over to Venice in the afternoon!
