Madrid Day 1 19 Nov, 06 - 21.24

We arrived in Madrid this afternoon, dragging 40 kilos of luggage including 22 kilos of Protein powder. A last few bits of equipment to pick up before I meet with Pavel Rezvoy in La Gomera. We have found its far quicker and easier to carry things into the Canary Island via air than getting it shipped across by a freight company. The customs at the Canary Islands combined with their tendency for extra long siestas in the islands make getting anything shipped across a nightmare. While Stockholm city seems to be planned by someone with a ruler and a pencil, Madrid city seems to have been put together by a 5 year old with a box of crayons. Its chaotic, colourful and its got a great buzz to it.
Tenerife and La Gomera the day after.
