My Go Karting experience in Moraira, Costa Blanca - Tue 12th April 2011
After much persuasion by my fellow holidaymakers, we made our way over to the Go Kart track in Teulada/Moraira. I was a bit apprehensive, as I had visions of ploughing into a wall on a bend, shunted out the way by these demon drivers for being too slow.
There were 5 of us and we had varying degrees of experience, yes you guessed it, I was at the bottom. Anyway we got there and the place did look great, much larger than I thought, well looked after and it even had a small zoo!! The swimming pools looked inviting but we were “here for the adrenalin rush”. My friends words not mine. We made our way over to the appropriate track, they had to pull me away from the childrens track with the tiny engined go karts!!! Not kicking and screaming of course, after all I am a lady!! I was given the Honda kart for beginners. My smug friends were then given the Suzuki karts for “the fast drivers”. They tried to get the racer karts but were deemed not experienced enough …... hee hee!!! Well, I must say, after stalling the first 2 times, I got into my stride, calmed down and did enjoy it a lot. I even overtook 2 karts, o.k they were driven by kids but I still think a pat on the back is called for.
Afterwards we went to the bar/restaurant had a drink and a snack. Then sat in the grandstand with a drink and whiled away a couple of hours watching all the action on the track as some karts were doing about 70mph. We chatted and laughed about our experience and it was a really really nice day.
