This & That: iPad in France (well, Spain really) - day 3

iPad in France (well, Spain really) - day 3

Not such a long drive today, just across from Castelnaudary and a few kilometres down the Mediterranean coast to Llança (pronounced Yansa) in Spanish Catalunya (as opposed to the French bit).

The hotel boasts free wifi on all floors and, indeed, it has; the only problem seems to be that whilst I can connect in reception, on the 2nd floor and even out in the garden, the access point on the 1st floor where we have our room, will not play the game.

I'm jinxed! Dodgy keyboard in Rennes, dead DHCP service in Castelnaudary and now a flaky access point in Llanca!

I had wondered whether I would be able to pick up an SFR wifi signal this far from the border so I switched on the 3G to check. Of the three French 3G signals I might expect to see (SFR, Orange & Bouyges) I could see ..... Orange and Bouyges. No SFR!

Fortunately I can sit by the pool and pick up the garden wifi access point so all is not lost (and that's why you can read this)!
