White Hat Rally Day 2: Journey to Locarno Part.1

The start of Day 2 was great. We woke up (really early again!), got ready, and had the best breakfast of the trip! And yes, we were dressed in tux’s! It was all part of the James Bond theme of the rally. The view out of the window while we were having breakfast was amazing. We were staying about 10 miles out of Thun, above the lakes in the mountains in Hotel Baumgarten – Aeschi bei Spiez. It was a lovely place with really amazing views. It was a shame it was still raining so much!

It was highly challenging trying to get good shots in the really really bad weather, but a few ziplock bags and my camera in a carrier bag did the job. I would have liked to have higher elevation for the group shot because the cars were arranged in a V formation, but once again it just wasnt practical in the weather.

Nevertheless, I had to shoot. It was tough, and everything got soaked but it was worth it!

White Hat Rally Day 0: Journey to Laon

Well the rally is over, and it was a truly amazing experience! I wanted to get my pictures up on here everyday as it happened but unfortunately it didnt work due to bunch of logistical and technical issues I had, but they’re all up now!

For three days straight our routine was, wake up (really early!), breakfast, drive, get there, eat, sleep (really late!), wake up….etc. The weather driving to Laon was pretty good, but thats where it all ended….then the rain came of course!
