Italy

The journey began on June 2nd 2006.We picked the Genny trucks (units only)in Suffolk England and then bounced across to Amsterdam to couple upto the generator trailers and headed for Milan Italy. Down through Belgium,Luxembourg and France, then through the Mont Blonc tunnel into Italy. We where met by Alpine thunderstorms as we descended down to the flat plain of Northern Italy and soaring temperatures. The next few days were spent parked up on the expansive carpark of the San Siro stadium. The Heat became oppresive and hit 42 degrees! There is this strange fenced off waste land next to the stadium, rumours of it being an ancient Milanese bubonic plauge pit abounded, it was also obviuosly the breeding ground of the most ravenous blood sucking mosquito's in Europe. After the show on the 11th the 42 production trucks escaped to Austria and the relatively cool of Vienna and the Ernst Happel Stadium.
