Out .....















Got finally going out of the climatized hotel room to walk the warm streets of this lovely city... 29C and like mother's milk ;o)

















Saturday would not be too bad either... too bad that I need to leave ;o) but will be nice to get back home again anyway

















Had a beer and a coffee outside and read more about Madrid... well to be honest fiddling occasionally your mobile phone anyway seems to sort of be an excuse to sit alone long time in a cafe ? Widsets is great for it since you actually always have something new instead of just checking if you'd have some new sms (which you most likely don't in 5 min intervals at Friday evening?) BTW, a really sad example of this was the guy sitting next to us on the way here in aeroplane - the guy was actually turning his mobile every half an hour or so on at 9km altitude to check if there was something new (which there "suprisingly" was not) until I "exploded" (after drinking 2 small bottles of wine to overcome my Finnish nature) and told him that if he does not stop that I'll kick his butt (well not axactly but something like that...) and that "I'm from a company which manufacturers mobile networks and I can tell that they do not work at 9km altitude so shut the thing down and stop that". Wierd shit ? the guy - not me ...?


















Few obs. along the walk .... This is how chips should be sold ;o)















and they were good...

This is what we should have instead of ever increasing copy-supermarkets...

















After some serious walking I headed back hotel. Typically I'm very skeptic on Hotel Restaurangs but the list looked good, so I went to the hotel's own restaurang (in skeptic mood). But what a surprise - I have not had such great food for "I-dont-remeber-fo-how-long"ish. NH Abascal had fantastic food ! Grilled Duck foie with aspargus and mango balsamic vinegar............................. great dessert too lemon yoghurt foam with choco chips and strawberries (served in a primitively pleasent and attractive form ;o)















Expect the unexpected ?

These W guys are just so geeky :-)

Say No - it is great

"No thanks. Not interested." - what a wonderful & respectful response! Good straight forward fast "No" keeps thin...
