When leaving from Siena to the Amalfi coast, Joerg discovered the head temperature of a cylinder (techie details are for Joerg to explain!) was too high, while the Moving Terrain did not work at all. So, we inserted a "techie day" during our trip...
Replacing the Moving Terrain was a piece of cake, having a wonderful team behind us of Moving Terrain AG. They send a spare "knee" GPS to the wonderful Baia di Napoli in just one day.
The cylinder issue was a bit more complicated. While I went shopping (someone has to do the hard work), Joerg ended up at the table of the family of Nicola Romano and tried in his very best italian to explain what was wrong. While stripping Lola, they discovered the exhaust gasket was broken what caused the high temperature of the cylinder. So, exhaust gasket to Napoli for reparation and Joerg and I to Pompei for... well, for tourism.
We decided to stay a day longer to get Lola fixed, and to keep our plans open. We would not fly to Palermo in Sicilia, over water, if we would not feel comfortable with Lola's performance.
On Sunday, we got up realllllllly early to be at 2 at the airport. Super energetic as we are, we visited Capri by boat between 7 and 2, and made it then on time to the airport (I am becoming soooo german ;-). Lola was in meantime surrounded by about 10 abandoned cats and dogs, but was ready to fly off with an exhaust gasket "made in Napoli".
Big thank you to the scuolo di volo of Nicola Romani, who have been super for us!
