Cycling and my mobile

So I have got a new mobile a Nokia E65. I’ve downloaded the Nokia Sports Tracker software and this can then link up to my bluetooth GPS and record exactly where I’ve cycled and at what speed and altitude.

At the end of the ride I can then export the file to a Google Earth KML file and then see exactly where I’ve been.

So here is my 1st ride. Just click on the KML file and if you have Google Earth installed it will show you exactly where I cycled this morning.

Not as fast as I wanted as too much traffic and hundreds of traffic lights.

Barcelona Day 4

Well, I’ve not managed to post much despite having free wifi access from my hotel room. Have had an easy day today with just some wandering around and a visit to a museum. Just having a little siesta before getting some food and drink before the Andorra vs England game at 9pm. I’ll get some pictures from that a little later.

Spent the last 2 days doing all the sighseeing arounf the city. Two very full days and I’ve seen to have walked miles and miles despite using the tourist bus quite a bit as well.

Lots to see and really like the place. I’ve enjoyed this city much more than a previous trip to Madrid.

Seen more than one Irish Bar as usual and ended up in one for a nice steak pie last night. Nothing like sampling authentic Spanish food !

Barcelona Day 1

Well after a morning flight from Gatwick, I’m here in Barcelona. Quite a nice easy trip with a bus and metro ride at the end.

Had a stroll round near my hotel. I’m only about a 5 minute walk from the Sagrada Familia. Lots of people there and long queues to get in. So I’ll leave that for tomorrow.

Very quiet near my hotel which is nice but the room is a little small. Modern though and OK for the next few days.

So having a little siesta before getting something to eat and then to do the tourist thing tomorrow.

Barcelona

Well only a week or so before I go. Need to get myself a plan together.
