This is my third geeky post during my “Impulsive Travelling 2012: Spain & Germany”. I have been running a session of PathTest whenever I have WIFI connection. Please remember to follow this blog if you are interested to see the geeky side of my latest trip =)
Feeling very excited about finally starting my real travelling. Arrived in Madrid very late but the custom was super efficient. But then it also helped a lot when the non-EU line was super short (less than 5 persons). I am very impressed by its new, very clean and organized metro system. It only costed me 1.5 euro to take metro from airport back to my hostel! I am really not sure what I have paid really covered the cost.
The internet in this hotel connection feels smooth. I am continuously using my laptop, iPad and iPhone and not notice any issue. Here is the PathTest result.
