However, in the rush to keep you informed I used a cybercafe in Porec. Normally this is not a big deal. People do [...]

You go to the beach and hope for the best.
I was preparing myself for the experience by interviewing the missionaries here.

The wireless internet is down in the hotel.
The cybercafe landline works.
What probably needs to happen is the router be reset but none of the hotel employs will do this. Either they can’t or won’t. They called the company that installed it - it’s their job.
Meanwhile, we have about 13 IT guys [...]
