A weekend with three pals on bikes in a city we all never have been before.
Pal 1: Look here, iPhone tells we have to go this way... er, no, this... here, there. Fuck now we're lost.
Other pals have no better suggestions to sort out situation.
After much debate and laughter, 'cause I pulled out old fashioned map + paper + pen, a route was drawn and then we did manage to make our way back with no fuss.
Point is, I do know we have nifty maps incorporated into phone devices and gadgets that want to help, but it just still can't beat it when one can quickly draw a sketch and memorize fix points you want to pass. I'm used to doing it that way.
