Trip to Madrid
So, I’m finally back from my business trip to Madrid (actually I returned to Vienna Friday in the morning, but I was too tired to blog).
All in all it was a quite, let’s say, interesting journey. We had our first near-death experience on our way to the airport in Vienna when our driver nod off. Arrived in Madrid a few hours later, with a stopover in Munich.
The hotel in Madrid was dreadful, but we quickly made it to the next Tapas bar. Meeting with our customer the next morning, next crazy taxi driver, but I guess we were just not relaxed enough to cross the street just before the truck. On our way to Barajas after the meeting our taxi driver, guess what, was sleepy again. So talking with him about god and the world – quite a challenge because our Spanish is non existing, as is his English.
Our flight was quite late because of some fog in Munich, so we didn’t get our connection flight to Vienna and instead rented a Mini Cooper to get home. Awesome car! Arrived in Vienna at about 3.30 a.m. and took me two days to catch up on lost sleep of the last few days.
