"I had a few hours extra and I tried to walk from a hotel in downtown Boston to the airport. That was quite complicated, actually. I followed Google on my phone, which I think, you know, quite often it's a mistake because you will never lose your way, you will always be punctual. You always follow the best route, which I think is a mistake.
