The further west you go, the more caravan based the Alan Rogers recommended camp site are.......

At Bran in Romania - the roof tents (which included us) outnumbered everything else (in fact, I can't remember there being any caravans!)

Anyway, back to my original post! Been boffing around France+Italy for a while now and i've seen less than a handful of Icaffs here (5Euros/30mins in Monaco:eek3:), so getting travel info has been a real pain - but here in Rome it's more accessible and heaps better value. Should've bought an eeepc...

Libraries
 

Almost all French towns and a lot of villages have a library where you can access the internet for free, although sometimes you'll have to wait around for a free PC and sometimes you may even have to book when you first arrive.

But if you can get by well enough to say "me travelling biker need check e-mails and HUBB" then perhaps they'll be so interested you'll get to use them quickly and maybe even get a cup of coffee.

I'm going to travel for two weeks in Europe too, so I was highly recommended to try MTXConnect data-only sim card
It's seems being easy to use, fixed prices per day or per Mb, so I've just ordered it via their website

I was riding in Europe for 3 months without a phone or computer. I relied on internet cafes for phonecalls and uploading pictures.

It is possible, but only for light usage. You can find internet cafes only in big cities or backpacker destinations. If a city has immigration from Africa/Middle East (lower income, high need for international communication) or it has a large number of hostels, there will be at least a few cyber cafes. Many backpacker hostels also have computers guests can use (or at least know where a cyber is). I would google the next city's cyber location at the end of my hour. Normally 1-2 euro per hour, occasionally up to 3-4.

Libraries also work, but they have unusual hours and you will normally have to sign-up before they let you on. They are free though, and you can find them even in small towns.

I generally got online once per week.
