Finally the weather cheered up and we drove to Hollókõ today. The Italian Grand Prix started at 2pm, so we started early to get back in time. By the time we got there just after 10am the sun was out and the car park was promisingly empty. First stop was the castle. The views were gorgeous, highlighting what we missed in the last two days due to thick cloud and rain. Still, there were plenty of photo opportunities to make up for it. On the way there we even saw our lookout tower from several vantage points. En route to Hollókõ one travels all the way round the woods that we went through the day before, so it wasn't surprising.
As we have been there many times, we were trying to get new angles on the place, at least for photographing and amazingly managed it. The one of the village from the castle was new to me as well as the inside of the village museum which I have never visited before. The hung up boots added such a lovely touch to an authentic "palóc" interior which we much enjoyed explaining to Philip.
We got back in time for the GP and after a quick Greek salad watched Alonso win it! :(
