All Quiet on the Western Front

Or it may soon be for the next few weeks...

We had a lovely room when we first arrived here in Nitra, but unfortunately despite advertising free and unlimited internet connection, it transpired that our room just would not receive a signal.

Despite trying the lappie out in all possible positions, the room turned out to be a black hole for broadband transmission and so they offered us another room.

This was smaller (no problem) but it was a twin room with two single beds and unfortunately all they had available whilst they conducted some refurbishments to the other larger rooms and so they suggested we take it (which had a good reception) as an interim measure.

Yesterday we duly moved into our new room (and it was so new there is even a slight lingering smell of fresh paint) and it just happens to be a Suite.

Cor- massive double bed, hoooge TV with over 40 odd German channels and a separate sitting room to play on the net without disturbing sleeping beauty, etc. We moved all of our clutter in, blah etc blah but then noticed that the signal was a bit ropey. Hhhhmmm...

Turns out this room (as well as our original one; both at the front of the Pension) has a problem receiving a good connection and the signal we are receiving is actually from the hotel next door.

Anyhoo- sod the internet for a couple of weeks, we're chilling out in luxury and we'll just take a chance if we can post or not. Normal service will be resumed again (hopefully) in Budapest, Hungary from the first week of November, hopefully because as we have found out, what is advertised is not necessarily what you get.

Or, if you're really lucky we may get the odd hook up here and we can continue to share our pearl's of wisdom with you...like this this example...
