Happenstance is a wonderful thing…

Rik and I arrived this afternoon in Barcelona for the TechEd IT conference that is going on this week. Our flight was pretty good, and our bags even arrived at baggage reclaim fairly quickly. After some confusion, we managed to negotiate the train/underground to get to our hotel (and I must say here that I was very impressed indeed with the Barcelona underground system; I even managed to get a good mobile signal all of the time I was on the underground). Rik and I decided at that point that a) getting registered at the conference would be a good idea and b) some food would also be a good idea. Registering was very quick and we visited the shopping centre across the road as Rik had been recommended a place inside.  After a bit of a wander around, we eventually settled on a place called Kurz & Gut (first night in Barcelona and we end up in a German themed place eating bratwurst!) – however I was very pleased that we had done. I enjoyed what has to be the very best hotdog/bratwurst I have ever eaten!
