London calling...

Welcome to spring! Warm sunny days have been drying us out after the usual winter deluge and visibly lifting everyone's spirits.

I jumped on the plane to London last week for a brief visit. The predominance of low cost airlines make Santiago's connections to the rest of Europe something of a hit and miss affair. My first low cost flying experience proved to be relatively painless, I wouldn't say flying Ryanair was a pleasure but you get what you pay for and the train in from Stansted is quick and convenient. Arriving in buzzing, multicultural central London was a bit of a culture shock, especially after Galicia or even Madrid.




After logging in some hours at the office we headed off around the corner to the Spanish Moroccan restaurant, Moro and had a great dinner and a good bottle of tinto reserva from Ribera del Duero. Having spent a few months helping market a local wine region I can now confidently navigate a Spanish wine list, not something I was expecting to do before coming here.
