Chapter Two // Battle of the Paddock

Within two weeks, Bella found herself packing up her life and getting ready for a trip to Bahrain, to start the first testing session of the year. In those two weeks, Bella had forgotten all about her nerves. She had spent most of those days, side-by-side with Lando and his teammate, Oscar Piastri. She had followed Lando to photoshoots, interviews, suit fittings, to see his new car and everything in between. They had gone for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, coffees, and late-night drinks at bars around London. It hadn’t taken long to form a strong bond of friendship.

Over drinks one evening, Lando had confided in her about his break-up with Luisa. They had only been together for eight months, but Lando had been smitten with the model. It had hurt more when the media had started to report that the split came abruptly after Lando had been ‘exposed’ to sending flirty messages to another woman.

“Honestly, Bells. It’s not what happened. I mean, yes, I did send them but that was after we had split up. There’s nothing wrong with that, was there? I was just messing”.

Bella signed and reached across to place her hand on top of his.

“No, Lando, there isn’t but the media are never going to portray it the boring way, are they? You were single, but if the world didn’t know that at the time, how were we to know any different? And so quickly after the split too, I mean, that would have kicked Luisa where it hurt most.”

Lando nodded slowly, letting out a big sigh.

“I know, I fucked it up more than I should, but I never meant to hurt her. She was my world…”

He stared out of the bar window into the lamp-lit street. Bella could see his eyes glistening, deep in thoughts of regret and pain.

“I know Lando, I know. But onwards and upwards now, hey? Let’s focus on getting you that world championship”.

“You’ve always got your work head on, haven’t you? It’s like being with Charlotte all over again”, he chuckled, hiding the darkness away. “I don’t know if I want to fall in love again, I can’t ever feel that pain again. I don’t think I could carry on. I felt so alone after she left.”

“Lando, don’t say that, please. You’re not alone, I’m right here and I won’t leave you, I promise”.

Bella looked at him a little differently after that night, she saw past the external shell of a playful, cheeky chap to hurt and lonely young boy. A young boy that just wanted something, just once to go his way. She knew he was tired of being the ‘babyface’ of the paddock, but she didn’t want him to lose his sparkle either. That set him apart from the other boys. Bella could tell, deep down he was hurting, badly.

***

It was a late evening of a cold, crisp February day when Bella found herself climbing out of a car and following Lando into Heathrow Airport, ready to catch a flight to Bahrain. She was not looking forward to sitting, cramped in an aircraft for near to ten hours. They did have a slight release in a change in Abu Dhabi, but it still wasn’t going to be ideal. Bella could never sleep on planes, not that she had been on many.

Bella’s mother died when she was just a year old, leaving behind herself and her father. As a single parent, he never had much money to spend on exotic holidays, but that had never mattered to her. They had gone to local beaches, rented caravans, and tents, and just enjoyed the time they had together.

She followed Lando toward a huddled group near the check-in desks. Both Lando and herself were wearing the distinctive, orange McLaren jackets but she didn’t see any more orange in the group.

“LANDO NORRIS! Have you grown this winter? I swear that last time I saw you, you were only up to my armpits.” Laughed a tall man that Bella didn’t recognise.

The group laughed and another taller man stepped forward and put his arm around Lando.

“I do apologise about him, you look amazing,” he said as he released Lando.

Stepping back, Bella recognised this second man as George Russell.

“Lando, who is this lovely companion of yours?”

“Oh, that’s Bella. She’s the new Charlotte!”

“Blimey, you have some work cut out for you then Bella!” George smiled, as he stepped forward to embrace her. “It’s lovely to meet you, I’m George and this joker here is Henry”.

He gestured to the first gentleman who had spoken.

“Nice to meet you, Bella” Henry shook her hand. “Welcome to the crew! I could do with some more faces to chat to whilst these lot abandon us for the track”.

“Thank you, yes please, some company would be brilliant. Apart from a few of the McLaren team and Lando, I don’t know anyone else who will be in the paddock with us. Do you work with George as well?”

Henry laughed.

“He wishes, I’m George’s partner so you could say I’m his emotional support advisor. We all know he likes a little cry now and then.”

“Oh, stop it you” George playfully pushed Henry’s arm.

Lando introduced Bella to the other drivers and their PR advisors stood in the group. She had shaken hands with Pierre Gasly, Alex Albon, and Esteban Ocon. Each who were equally as warm and welcoming as George and Henry.

“I thought there would be more of us here this morning?” Asked Lando.

“Well, Lewis, Max, Lance, Fernando, and the others all jumped on private jets because they’re all far too good for us, slumming it on a commercial airline,” said Alex, rolling his eyes.

“Bella, I am so excited about this flight. You can get to know this lot. Have you ever flown first class before? It’s awesome”

“Lando, Bella probably won’t...” George started.

“They bring you drinks, and posh food and you even get a bed!” Said Lando excitedly, almost jumping up and down like a small child.

“No, I haven’t,” She said, “And I won’t be this time. I’m not important enough for the first class I’m afraid. My ticket is for the usual seats, so you’ll have to enjoy them without me”.

Lando’s face fell.

“What? Show me your ticket”.

Bella got out her phone and Lando read her boarding pass.

“No! That’s not fair, Henry gets to fly with us! Why can’t you?”

“Henry only flies with us because we’ve been together for a couple of years, Lando.” George said sympathetically “the first year, I bought him his ticket and then Williams let me have him, but I had to ask them nicely. Sorry buddy”

Lando looked at Bella, to George, and back in disbelief.

“Excuse me, just one minute,” Lando said as he scooted off, leaving his baggage with them.

“Anyway, Bella. Let us go grab a coffee and you can tell us a little about yourself?” George gestured toward the lounge.

Lando approached the check-in desk. He still had Bella’s phone in his hand.

“Hi, excuse me, sorry to bother you but I was wondering if we could upgrade a seat on this flight?”

“Good evening, Sir. Of course, if I just take some passenger details I can see what I can do for you” Said the smiling attendant, taking the phone from his hand.

“I see, unfortunately, this seat would have to be paid upfront for an upgrade. I wouldn’t be able to charge it to your company.”

Lando scrabbled around in his bag and produced his wallet, opening it and handing the attendant a card.

“Just pop it on this card, it’s fine”

“Thank you, sir, I will do that for you now. Did you want me to put her with you? You have an empty seat in your pod”.

“Yes, please”.

Bella, George, and Henry were deep in discussion about growing up in the Kent area when Lando approached them, looking deeply satisfied with himself.

“What have you done now, Lando?” Asked George, raising an eyebrow. “I do hope it’s not mischievous”.

“Nope, but now, Bella is flying with us in first class!”

Lando tucked his wallet back into the pocket of his bag.

“Lando! You better have not just paid for that…” Bella said, exasperatedly.

Lando just winked at her and sat down amongst them to discuss the upcoming practice sessions.

*winks at your from across the continent, very mysteriously and anonymously* rank all the GPs from sexiest to least sexy ;)

I hope you meant the sexiest to least sexy GPs of this season, because they're all I know here they are.

Sexiest — Singapore GP. Why?

Ferrari radio: “Lando 0.8 behind with DRS.” Carlos: “Yeah, it’s on purpose.”

Hands down the SEXIEST team radio of this season, and the most entertaining GP I’ve watched until now. “We know about the bromance, Martin. Sainz and Norris, what a double act they’ve been.” Two former teammates and close friends working together without any prior planning to come out in P1 and P2? And did you see the post-race celebrations? Their embrace against the fireworks and the sea of fans cheering? That image lives rent free in my mind. Singapore GP 2023 will forever live rent free in my mind. My heart was bursting with love for them. 

2. Sexiest / Lando Norris leads the British GP — Lando’s home race and my second favorite race of this season. I tuned in just in time to watch Lando’s overtake of Max at the beginning of the race and I’ll never forget the sound of the crowd cheering for him. Then there’s the Budapest (Lando-broke-Max’s-porcelain-trophy-with-his-champagne-popping) GP and Austin.  

Suzuka is somewhere between the second tier and “Okay, what damage do you have? Talent.” (these are all Lando catchphrases btw!) because he. did. not. kiss. his. trophy. and neither did Oscar. Ugh! Had he kissed it, Japan would have easily been in the second tier, but now it has been demoted to the third tier. 

3. In Mexico, Lando climbed 12 positions from P17 to P5, which in my book is incredibly sexy. Apart from his collision with Checo, which puts Abu Dhabi in the “Chaos? Chaos.” tier, I’d say that P5 is a pretty sexy result. 

4. Oh Qatar…Qatar was a rollercoaster of emotions. McLaren won a double podium in the end, but we’ll never forget how HARD Lando was on himself after he got his lap time deleted during qualifying. It broke my heart to see him so down. It's a good thing that he recovered quickly after that.  

5. And the least sexy title goes to Las Vegas, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Lando’s DNF in LV after that terrible crash was a real heart stopper. Also, he had to pit six times in Bahrain.

Lando and Oscar went from finishing P17 and P20 in the first race of the season to P2 (and P1 for Oscar after the Qatari Sprint). Final result: 10 / 10 sexy season, will root for the same outcome or an even better one in 2024.

Why You Should Consider a Move to Bahrain

If you're thinking about relocating, Bahrain might be a great option to explore. This small island country in the Arabian Gulf offers a unique blend of modern living and rich cultural heritage. Moving to Bahrain comes with several benefits, especially if you're looking for a vibrant place to live and work.

For one, Bahrain has a growing economy, with industries like banking, finance, and tourism thriving. The country also has a relatively high standard of living, with a mix of modern apartments, high-end shopping malls, and a rich history to discover. Plus, English is widely spoken, which can make settling in easier if you're coming from an English-speaking country.

In terms of lifestyle, Bahrain offers a good balance of work and leisure. Whether you’re into enjoying the beaches, visiting historical sites, or trying local food, there's always something to do in your free time. The cost of living can be more affordable than other Gulf countries, especially when it comes to rent and dining out.

However, like any move, there are things to consider. The heat can be intense during the summer months, and you'll need to adapt to the more traditional aspects of the culture. But many find that the benefits of living in Bahrain far outweigh the challenges.

If you're looking for a place with a mix of opportunity, culture, and a relaxed lifestyle, moving to Bahrain might just be the change you're looking for.

Good morning TUMBLR - March 7th - 2024

''Mr. Plant has owed me a shoe since July 5, 1971."

Ch. VIII - 1985- 1989 - Bahrain - Part 5

Me & Andrea - Mauritius Island - Dec, 1988

Me & Andrea - Bali, March 1989.

TRANSFER TO MANAMA After almost two years of living in Awali, COMERINT decided that we would all move to Manama. For this purpose, a newly built apartment building right behind the Korean embassy was rented in its entirety. The building was equipped with all comforts, including a small swimming pool on the terrace, gym in the basement and large, spacious apartments. One big flaw, which we would soon realize: the location about 150 meters from the Great Mosque! Which was equipped with very powerful speakers, so at the end of the two years I would have learned the Muslim prayer. And in any case we lived better in the city, life in Awali was quite boring. Here you could see people circulating, and all the services were close at hand.

BIRTH of my SON I was in Cipriani's apartment during the usual Friday card game with colleagues that I received a call from Italy (maybe my sister?) announcing my son Andrea's premature birth!! Great celebrations, pats on the back, immediately a bottle of sparkling wine was opened to celebrate the event! The next day the Company's travel office booked a flight for me, and in the evening I was already on my way to Italy to meet my firstborn. I saw Andrea for the first time at the Niguarda hospital, inside an incubator: what a thrill!! 1 Kg and 175 grams of tenderness!! He was born prematurely, but was quite well, at least in comparison to his other companions in misfortune - one in particular struck me, a sort of ''chicken'' hanging in a ''crucifixed'' position. They told me that he weighed 750 grams. My wife was quite well too, even if she had a ''changed'' appearance. The long suffering and her injections had somewhat ''inflated'' her face – fortunately all side effects disappeared after a short time. I had to leave back to Bahrain again without seeing Andrea at home, and in any case we promised ourselves that as soon as possible they would come to Bahrain for a long period. In reality they only reached me the following year, given that Andrea had to be constantly monitored for at least a year.

WIFE & SON in BAHRAIN And then one day they finally arrived! Wife and Andrea took little time to integrate, both by making friends in the condo - with Mrs. Battaglia - and than also in the surrounding area. Facilitated by frequenting an adjacent playground, they had met Indian, French and Korean ladies, also with children more or less of Andrea's age. Which was truly a pest when we had to feed himself.

CHRISTMAS 1988 The end of year holidays were approaching, and we decided to take a holiday in Mauritius before returning to Italy. Thanks to my wife's friendship with an Indian lady, Saritha, who worked at an travel agency, the holiday was soon organized. We would have flown to Mauritius for a week's stay, and then from the Indian Ocean island a direct flight would have taken us first to London and than to Milan. The holiday was really nice: we had a bungalow directly on the beautiful beach of the Pirogue hotel. The treatment was first class. There was the opportunity to celebrate Andrea's second birthday, with a beautiful cake prepared by the hotel chef. That evening Andrea was wild, and managed to escape our control. With the help of the hotel staff we eventually found him on the dance floor where the evening shows were held. He had managed - probably with a stone - to break one of the colored lights that illuminated the small stage! I gave a tip to the attendants so that they carefully cleaned the glass from the surface of the dance floor, where later the dancers of the local troupe would perform barefoot. We rented a car and visited the wonderful island: Le Morne Brabant, the colored earths, the botanical gardens, the covered market of Port Louis and the beautiful Ile au Cherf. At the reception of the Tuessrock hotel I saw a blow-up of Prince Andrew and Princess Ferguson. I asked the girl at the counter why that photo was there and she replied:

They spent part of their honeymoon here!

Really???!!! I replied.

Yes……

Eeee……they paid the bill regularly…I mean…….

The girl gave me a reprehensible look and then said: of course not…….

Ah… well…. The Ile au Cherf lagoon is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen

Ile au Cherf - Mauritus

Terre Coloree

La Morne - Mauritius.

HEATROW AIRPORT - LONDON The departure from Mauritus was characterized by a small ''accident''. At the airport during the passport control procedures a immigration policeman told us:

Ok… Sir your first son is here… but where is the second ?

Still planning – I replied thinking he was joking.

I'm not joking Sir… here on the landing documents it says that you arrived with two children, so where is the second child?

Look, officer… there's a mistake… just check our passports… how could we travel with two children if one is marked on our passports?

Ahh…yeah…it's true…. So was there an error by one of our officials when you arrived?

It seems obvious to me… In any case, the incident had put me in a bad mood. A mix-up like this can always cause problems and delays and even cause the plane to be missed. The British Airways flight stopped in Mahé, Seychelles, where the pilot landed so violently that all oxygen masks came off and several pieces of luggage fell from the overhead bins. For the rest everything was fine, in the sense that more than 13 hours of flight with a 2 year old child is not the best.

We landed in London in the late afternoon, and during the transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 the bus suddenly stopped. The driver turned up the volume on the radio and we learned that Pan Am Flight 103 had crashed over Scotland and there were probably no survivors. For long minutes all airport activity stopped and a thunderous silence descended where a moment before there had been nothing but deafening noises. Than everything re-started working again, but something strange and intangible remained in the air. The looks of the airport workers betrayed anxiety and concern, while increasingly chilling details arrived via the TV screens hanging in the waiting areas. We arrived at Linate around 9.00 pm and took a taxi back home.

FIRE AT METHANOL PLANT About 3 months after commissioning, the methanol plant suffered a first serious accident. Early morning the pre-warning sirens sounded, and all non-essential personnel were evacuated from the plant. The temperatures of the methanol furnace were rising, and the situation seemed to have gotten out of control of the operation's technicians. We took refuge in the Main Control Room, a building designed to protect plant workers even in the event of serious accidents, such as fires or ammonia leaks. The fight to prevent the furnace from catching fire lasted about 6 hours, with the operators trying to lower temperatures and flows inside the methanol plant. Mr. Mangialardi, at that time in charge of the plant, had to change the khaki-colored suit he was wearing several times (also due to the smell it gave off…) In the end the battle was lost, in the sense that the fire broke out between the bellows that connected the oven with the combustion chamber, but the prompt intervention of the firefighters coordinated by Mr. Palmizio - who had had plenty of time to position themselves to the west of the plant , limited the damage of the fire. However, I had the opportunity to see how scary a fire can be when methanol is involved - which, being very volatile, causes that type of flame that is not continuous, but rather ignites and burns in different locations at the same time. And this is why it is very difficult to fight it, given that the foam and hydrants must be continually repositioned. After the fire was put out, the damage was assessed and all in all it was limited. In two weeks of intense 24/7 work we completed the repairs, and the plant restarted.

RANGE ROVER For some time I had noticed a brown Range Rover in the car park of the plant, but I didn't know who it belonged to. One day I finally saw the owner, a young Bahrenite, an employee of the spare parts warehouse. I approached him, and after complimenting him on the car, I asked him if by any chance he was willing to sell the car. At first - like a good Arab - he prevaricated, but than, at my insistence, he showed himself open to a possibility. Within a few days we reached an agreement on the price - around 1.9 million lire (Barely 1,200 USD) I paid him a deposit, promising that we would close the deal the next time I returned from Italy. Was it so, even if we could have missed the last-minute surprise? Certainly not! The Range did not belong to the warehouse worker, he only had it for use, the real owner was a cousin of Emir Issa Bin Khalifa! So on the day of the appointment at the DMV for the transfer of ownership, the 'cousin' was present for the final signature. Great satisfaction on my part, I had an exceptional off-road vehicle at my disposal, even if Bahrain was certainly not a place to make long journeys, but there was certainly no shortage of off-road routes in the desert, such as the one that led to the so-called 'Tree of Life' ' – a gigantic tree in the middle of the desert in the center-South of the island, where there is no other plant or shrub for kilometers.

FINE FOR SPEEDING It was the end of the month, and evidently the Bahrain Police Command had received orders to raise some money to pay salaries. The fact is that many of us left the plant that evening, and on the 4-lane road to Manama we were stopped for over speeding. Those who were stopped for speeding just under 100 km per hour were given the opportunity to pay a fine immediately. Those like me who had exceeded 100 km per hour had their local licenses withdrawn, and were given an appointment the next morning at the Court in Manama. The next day there were around sixty ''guests'' in the Courtroom. After an exhausting wait, the judge finally appeared: an elderly guy, small and dry, with that ''don't bother me'' look common to many Bahrainis. He began the hearing by speaking in Arabic, while the interpreter translated:

You are here because you have broken the highway code of the State of Bahrain, and therefore you will be judged according to the current law… blah blah blah…'' After this long introduction, they moved on to examine case by case, right there in front of us all. The first ''defendant'' Mr. Rossi Aristide, COMERINT HR Manager, was called. Now the Judge spoke English:

Why yesterday at 6.27 pm were you driving your Toyota car with registration number etc etc at 124 km per hour?

Rossi: but you see, Your Honor

Ok…50 Dinars

Rossi: But Your Honor

Ok…60 dinars…. -Rossi: But he really sees….

Ok…70 dinars….

Rossi: …………. Next one.

The scene was repeated 4 times, before it was my turn - and all four times, at a nod from the accused, the Judge increased the fine by 10 dinars. Then came my turn: - So you're here because yesterday at 6.45 pm you were driving a Toyota car etc etc ……

Me: Sorry I don't speak English…….

Judge: 50 dihrams

I…. So I paid 50 dinars (130 USD at the time…) and my license was given back to me.

FRIDAY'S AT EMIR'S BEACH On Fridays in Bahrain, at least from September to April-May (in the summer it was too hot to go to the sea, whose water became boiling hot) we used to go as guests at Emir Sheik Issa bin Khalifa seaside residence, or rather at the beach of his villa. To be admitted onto the Emir's property, the essential conditions were NOT to be Arab. (Or Muslim). The reason given was that it was a security measure, following an attack that the Emir had suffered years earlier by a Bahrenite of Shiite religion. In truth, Shaik Issa didn't want inconvenient witnesses to see him when he wandered around deckchairs and umbrellas (especially on weekdays) to decide which women to invite to have a tea inside his villa. He usually invited two or more Western women, to whom he used to present a watch as a souvenir of the meeting. Once we arrived at the checkpoint at the entrance to the villa and with us there was also Mr. Perez, a Utilities operator, originally from Pozzallo, Sicily. He was looking really like a Palestinian so the Yemeni military guard, who was supposed to be given custody of any camera (I don't know how they do it now with cell phones) asks Mr. Perez:

Arab?

Perez: no Italian

Yemeny: Show your passport

Perez: Ok here it is….

Yemeny: Umm…. ok passport Italian, but you have Arab origin, you cannot enter.

Perez: WTF…. I always enter….

Yemeny: Maybe …but it was a mistake…… There was no way to convince the Yemeni guy, that Friday we all returned home.

Emir's Villa and beach - Bahrain

EMIR'S YATCH The island of Bahrain, like those that surround it, is of coral formation, the seabed around it is extremely shallow - the so-called shallow waters - and makes navigation in the Persian Gulf difficult and dangerous. The Emir Sheik Issa (which in Arabic means Jesus) had commissioned a large yacht from the Italian Azimut-Benetti shipyards, or rather after seeing it I would say a ship. The problem was that it couldn't get close to the Emir's villa, because the seabed didn't allow it. Help was asked from Italian Contractor SAIPEM, which provided a dredger and its operator, a former diver who no longer wanted to know about working underwater. He worked hard and in 3 months dug a canal deep enough for the Royal yacht to approach the villa. In the meantime, the Emir's emissaries had convinced the head of mission Nuovo Pignone, who worked at our plants, to move to the Sheikh's employ as head of mechanical maintenance of the yacht. Mugnaini, the name of the Tuscan former Pignone, told us of a life so boring that he almost regretted his previous job. One day the former diver Italian invited us to dinner in his apartment: he was a small and stocky guy, with a chest disproportionate for his height. Ettore and I joined him at his house, and when we entered the apartment his Thai wife was taking off his shoes - then she gave him a foot bath with hot water and a short feet massage. We sat down in the small living room, and the Lady - always smiling - brought us an aperitif. From the small window between the kitchen and the living/dining room, the Thai woman cooked and made sure that her husband and guests did not lack anything. Than dinner was served: delicious spring rolls, vegetable soup, and fried fish - the Lady first served her husband, then the guests and then went back to the kitchen, always looking at us through the little window, and asking if everything was okay! Certainly a big difference for that Italian, who told us that he had been left by his first wife - from Piacenza like him - after the lady had emptied their bank account. The guy dreamed of retiring to Thailand in a few years with his new partner, making the journey by sea with the pilot boat he had bought in Bahrain.

MASERATI FOUR DOORS After the happy conclusion of the plant start up, SNAMPROGETTI, which cared about the Bahraini and Gulf markets, thought of giving a present to the Emir - a significant gift, which had to underline the Made in Italy - so what could better represent everything that is, a splendid Maserati Quattroporte, special version? The car arrived at the plant shrouded in an aura of secrecy – Eng. Catalano whispered the name as if it were a state secret:

The M a s e r a ti…shhhh……. Accompanying the pronunciation of the syllables with the index finger on the nose……. The problem was that the Maserati wouldn't start! The electronics it was equipped with, perhaps during the long journey in the container from Italy, had completely failed! The arrival of 4 technicians directly from Modena was organised, to whom it was necessary to give ''all the necessary assistance'. It was decided to have an entire new electronic system delivered from Italy – only after its installation and testing of the car along the roads of Bahrain was the delivery date of the Maserati to the Emir finally set.

ITALIAN AMBASSADOR Mr. FORATTINI Upon the arrival of the new Italian Ambassador Amedeo Forattini, brother of the famous cartoonist, our Company held a special party in his honor at Diplomat Hotel. The Ambassdor that had recently settled in the headquarters of the Italian Embassy in Kuwait city. All expatriate employees were invited, including the British. The Diplomat's ballroom was decorated for the special occasions: a long U shape buffet table, with every delicacy available to the guests. In a corner a well-stocked bar served fresh Italian sparkling prosecco, and all sorts of wines, cocktails and spirits. The reception proceeded well, the COMERINT management group introduced the guests to the Ambassador, who amiably shook everyone's hand with brief nods of the head. Meanwhile the Britisher's did honor to the buffet, especially its alcoholic part.

On a l specially prepared stage, the Ambassador said a brief toast and then approached the buffet table. At that moment Mr. Russel, a supervisor of the ammonia plant who since his arrival at the reception had not skimped on ''testing'' all the spirits available, rushed towards the Ambassador with his hand outstretched, in an attempt to congratulate him. It took just sec's: Forattini did something like a quick pirouette on himself, and then Russel sensationally missed him, ending up between the trays of smoked salmon and those of Russian and capricciosa salads! In an extreme attempt not to fall, Russel, holding on to the tablecloth, dragged a good portion of the scones, cured meats, olives, spring onions and pickled cucumbers to the ground!! The Ambassador behaved in an impeccable manner, as if nothing had happened, he continued to converse amiably with the guests, while the hotel staff first took care of the British guy and then within a few minutes put everything back in order. Later Russel managed to convince his friends that he had fully recovered, and returned home driving his car. A police patrol noticed his reckless driving and stopped him for investigations: he had not respected the right of way at a stop sign, so the British guy was taken to the police station. The alcohol test showed that Russel had largely exceeded the permitted limit, and therefore after two days spent in jail (the incident had happened on Thursday and the court was closed until Sunday) he was sentenced to pay the equivalent of 1,600 USD plus a suspended sentence of 15 days in prison.

ITALIAN AMBASSADOR DELIVER MASERATI TO EMIR OF BAHRAIN. The delivery of the Maserati to the Emir took place at his residence by the sea. It was a sober ceremony, the SAMPROGETTI top management supported by Ambassador Forattini illustrated the advantages of the car to Sheik Issa, and the Emir appeared satisfied. A brief refreshment of strictly non-alcoholic drinks was served by the numerous Indian waiters in the gardens of the villa. The cream-coloured Maserati was there in plain sight, a colleague of mine and I approached to look inside the car - we noticed the facing rear seats in ivory-coloured leather, the retractable bar, the satellite telephone - and of course the armored bodywork . Intent on appreciating the lines of the car, we didn't notice that Sheik Issa had approached, and after greeting us he asked us point blank:

What do you think of this car? Is it a good car?

Of course, Your Highness, a very prestigious car! - we replied in unison (even if calling an individual just over 1.55m ''height'' seemed a bit ironic)

And then – I added – there are only 2 examples of this car in the world!

Oh yes?! Said the Emir – and who owns the other specimen? -Well… it is in use by the President of the Italian Republic, but only you own it - he, the President, after 7 years, must leave it to his successor.

Good, good – continued Sheik Issa – and in any case I don't think I will make extensive use of the car, here in Bahrain the longest journey I can make is 40 km…

Yes, but now you can go as far as Saudi Arabia if you wish, Your Majesty.

Yes yes…well we'll see and… Shoukran …concluded Sheik Issa.

DOCT. BUSONERO & ME ON SAILING BOAT Before being ignominiously chased away by the President of GPIC Doct. Tawfiq, Doct. Busonero from Grosseto had convinced me a Friday to accompany him to the Zellaq beach - located in the western part of the island. This was a beach popular with expats who went surfing, paragliding and sailing. There was a little bar and a shed, where surfboards and lasers were rented. We took one of the latter, and before getting on I asked Busonero the question for the last time:

But do you know how to sail?

Of course? I attended school in Argentario…….

No because I - I said - if it involves climbing a mountain I have no problems, but for the sea…

Well it was a disaster… a nightmare… everything went normally as long as we were near the coast, but once offshore, the wind suddenly seemed to pick up. And off you go and capsize!! And luckily, one way or another - don't ask how - we managed not to capsize the boat. The calls to the now distant shore came to nothing. I was increasingly exhausted, and I asked Busonero to lower the sail, and we would try to row back. And so it was: we paddled laboriously for those 400 or 500 meters that separated us from the coast, and then we returned the laser still intact to the guy who rented it. From Zellaq to Awali it was just over 20 minutes by car, in your opinion how many insults can be uttered in this space of time? The first thing he said to Busonero was:

Ok you attended the Argentario school, but you didn't tell me it was a COOKING SCHOOL!!!

FAREWELL TO BAHRAIN – trip to Bangkok and Bali Four years were literally flown away!! So we were preparing to return to Italy. I had managed to send the Range Rover by sea with Merzario Shipping, so we decided - before to return to Italy - to take advantage of the fact that Bahrain is practically halfway between Italy and the Far East for a trip to Thailand and Bali. It was a very nice experience, the first time for us in Bangkok. We visited the city and the nearby Rose Garden, with elephant shows and Thai boxing matches. Then we flew to Jakarta, where there was a stop-over before reaching Bali. We arrived in Bali in the middle of the night, and during the check the policeman noticed that the expiry date of my wife's passport was less than the six months required by immigration law. The policeman asked us to follow him to his office, where he told us that yes I could stay, but my wife and son (he was on her passport) could not enter Bali, and had to leave the country on the first available plane.

Ridiculous, I told him how can you propose somthing like that!

Well said the policeman, the law is clear, they cannot be admitted to Indonesia. At the end of further discussions, I noticed a more ''condescending'' attitude on the part of the policeman who finally said in a low voice:

Do you have American dollars?

No I replied, I just arrived from Thailand and it's night, where can I find American dollars?

Well – he continued – it could be done like this: which hotel did you book in? I could visit you tomorrow afternoon and then we could sort this out.

I'm at Windham, I told him, indicating a hotel on the East coast. that we had considered.

Good – said the policeman putting the entry stamp on my wife passport – then I'll see you tomorrow! Obviously we had booked an hotel in the other side of the island, at about 80 km from Windham hote.

I never saw him again.

We had a lovely holiday, and we had a lot of fun: Andrea was a lot of fun, even though he suffered from frequent diarrhoea, and - to our great embarrassment - he stood out for a few episodes in the resort's restaurant and in the swimming pool! One day we rented a car with a driver for a tour of the island. The nature of Bali was incredible, we visited the famous Ulun Danu, the temple on Batan Lake, and then the Nungnung Waterfall, perhaps the most beautiful in Bali. During the climb to the waterfalls, a nauseating smoke began to come out of the dashboard of the car. I said to the driver:

Stop, the car is on fire!!

And he: yes? Then he calmly stopped the car, opened the hood and we discovered the smoke was coming from the air conditioner.

The driver didn't know what to do, so I told him to disconnect the air conditioner from the engine, so the problem would be temporarily solved. So we could continue the trip. We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant, following the driver's recommendation. There was a staircase to access the restaurant, surrounded by avocado plants. I said to the driver:

Of course you have nice mangoes here in Bali.

Mangoes? Yessss… too much mango here, he told me, pointing to the avocado plants.

After a delicious lunch, we took a walk in the surrounding area: the famous Balinese rice terraces stretched out as far as the eye could see in front of us. We passed a sort of raised gazebo where a group of men were playing dominoes and others were sleeping lying down. I asked the driver if it was a local custom and he said: ''Yes, these men wait, they kill time waiting for the women you see down there in the rice field to finish their work.'' Helping out in the fields, right??? Unfortunately the day of departure came, and it was a long journey from Bali to Jakarta to Bahrain where we stayed for another two days before returning to Italy with a flight via Rome. A long period had ended happily, and the future was yet to be deciphered.
