cheap Internet access-Europe for visitors

Is it the euro, or the import duties? At any rate, +1 to not buying a laptop there.

Both I think.

Admittedly since he is in a foreign country right now and probably experiencing some cool foreign stuff. This communication cut-off for past 2 days, is abit frustrating. I want to hear the cool stories from him!

Let's see here, yesterday he was somewhere in Chateau Thierry, France. Looks like a wonderful medieval area. He didn't have accommodation lined up in advance there, which is partially why he was annoyed that his computer wasn't working to help himself search and book 1 day in advance from Paris.

This is how he handled planning and dealing with accommodation for longer self-loaded touring rides --just book places at beginning, end and a couple places in between that he would safely predict he could get the hotel on confirmed dates. The rest --play it by ear. You do have to be flexible, not knowing the terrain, weather, etc. on self-planned bike trips.

So hmmmm...he's still in France probably???

As an additional addendum now: he appreciates the reminder about the differences in the computer keyboard due to l'accent requirements.

Everywhere I've tried it, access at libraries has been free, but limited time (usually 30 minute limit) and you often have to wait. Also, you have to ask your way to the local library. That said, it's another part of the travel adventure, right? And you can catch up on the news while you wait because they usually also have English-language newspapers.

You'd think hotels would offer wireless internet as a compliment by now!!!

Sheesh!
