Travelling with Wireless in Europe?

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-net-saturated-areas dept.

MMC asks: "Later on this year I'm going to travel in Europe for a honeymoon (specifically Italy and maybe others) and now that I have a digital camera I'm going to take a laptop etc. Dialing up is fine, but I'm really keen to find places which have publicly accessible wireless networks or somewhere I can plug the laptop in with Ethernet. I'm happy to pay for access in a Cafe or Hotel etc. Does anyone have any pointers (other than wandering around with NetStumbler)? Most Internet Cafe references seem quite incomplete and out of date."

    ...i have to read that shit about how far ahead you americans are thech-wise and i'm gonna have to throw up, i swear. i mean what is this? a contest of dick sizes? this is europe! not some freakin' new continent that nobody has mapped yet. you don't need no gps and maps for your palm! we have found our ways around the place without wheezing satellites for well over 20000 years, over here. leave your precious laptop at home and you will maybe actually get to see some culture. and if you get lost, just fucking ask for the way.

    and uh... what's that about having to bribe the police with cigarettes? is that your department of tourism that comes up with that shit? i mean, how many times can you leave behind your luggage on one trip??
