Madrid Day 3 21 Nov, 06 - 9.24

We got the rest of the equipment today from Iridium Systems
and FNAC. All set to go and looking forward to La Gomera.
Now what are the chances of turning up in a city and finding out that some one you met with briefly 4 years ago, lived 200 yards away from your apartment?
After finishing our days work, it was a pleasant surprise to meet John Perring, who happened to be working across the floor from me at Reliance Infocomm on the branding and retail design for WebWorld.
He now runs a design company and a wine yard in Madrid and by the looks of his apartment, he is very good at what he does, along with
being the best guide to all the Tapas bars around Tribunal.
Tribunal is best described as the SOHO of Madrid, lots of art
shops and great Tapas bars, about 10 mins walk from the
center. Worth a peek next time you are in Madrid.
Our tour of Tapas bars ended at 5.00 am topped of by fried eggs, blood sausage and wine from Johns own wine yard.
A side note for the tecchie people like me reading this, earlier in the day I found something I had been searching for over the past 2 years. A wireless 2.5" network hard disk with an FTP and Access Point built in. Perfect home file sharing network. Just what the doctor ordered. Check it out on www.conceptronic.net
