arrival
Already at Munich airport, we had about an hour late. Thus, it was run, not to miss our connecting flight to Mexico. After 11 hours we arrived in Mexico City - only some without luggage. While umbrellas were the swing of Alex, Tom and me there, but Armin's and Peter's shield and the entire rest of the luggage was left in Amsterdam. Since the work of VW car was oh to pick yet, we decided to separate. Armin and Tom drove the car and pick up the rest of the luggage the next day, the rest went with the Swiss to Valle de Bravo.
first practice
early the next morning we were overwhelmed at the launch site of horror stories in recent days. Above all, the day before were many from the rescuers and the many wind shear in the high plateaus provided for athletic conditions. Despite a slightly queasy feeling I decided to fly, since I once wanted to know how well I did with my screen correctly. During the flight, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really came along well with him. Although the passages were in the lee pretty sporty but my good WRC flew away. I flew toward comfortable with Alex landing site at the foot of the lake, in Valle de Bravo. Back in the quarter it was for me to explore the resort. Small, but with many different markets and shops, the streets were enlivened much. This went on until the evening Keep it up. We saw this on the terrace of a cozy dining restaurant where we ate our dinner. Late but then Armin and Tom arrived in Valle de Bravo with the rest of the luggage.
second day
After registration in the HQ, we went again to the launch site. The conditions were slightly better but also for more demanding. Although I managed to make up, but for me, the wind shifted so much that I again had to fly against the wind and lost much height. I made it but then I fight your west (the pinion). Together with Alex and Tom, I could once again make height. Unfortunately, I then had to fight with a 70% collapse and lost too much height to the jump across the high plateau to create the next valley. Also found I no longer thermal, on the contrary - only further decline. Since helicopter had gone to land due to non-matching screen settings when I decided to join him and go back to the Vall de Bravo. In the evening there was the welcome Caremony. A parade from the main square to the HQ was admired by all sides and cheered. The parade was led by a children's chapel. Afterward, the pilots were already sorted by nationality and each and everyone with a child by the hand. I was allowed to take the Austrian flag. After a few speeches at the HQ, we went to the official dinner of the event.
