Sunday May 20 – ZRH / Madrid / Gijon Spain
A beautiful sunny Sunday in Switzerland and I have to leave to go to Spain. The flights are uneventful and I arrive at the hotel at 6 pm. As I was only able to eat a very poor sandwich on the plane (at a cost of 10€) I was very famished and immediately set out in search of a place to eat. However in Spain the restaurant opening times are very different from elsewhere (or at least India). For lunch they open at 1pm until 4pm, then close between 4 to 9pm. This caused me to slowly starve for a few hours.
I passed the time with a very nice walk along the sea side and up to a park overlooking the sea with a large concrete statue (by a famous artist - or at least I was told by a local). This statue, after it was unveiled was acclaimed by all to be a great work of art, until one day a visiting dignitary commented, after being shown the statue that it looked like “King kong’s Loo” (a big toilet). And for evermore that was the name of the statue.
