11 week trip to europe. Do not want to carry my laptop, where can I access the internet?
Should I expect hostels to have computers or will I have to go to internet cafes etc? Should I look into getting something to access the internet with (like one of those mini laptops), I have a Macbook Pro that is my baby, I don't want the weight or the risk of carrying it with me.

Answer 1 :
Depends where you are in Europe. Internet access is easier and more readily available than in the USA.
Answer 2 :
All the hostels have internet,with very rare exeptions. You can book the next hostel,plane and bus tickets,email home,normally free to use,sometimes a small charge. Look at the hostels' individual pages on hostelbookers.com....free internet is almost always on the list of facilities. Some budget hotels won't provide it,but nearly all towns in Europe have internet cafes. Good for cheap phone calls home. Save a fortune on a long trip. Also airports and major bus and rail stations normally have it,but charge stupid money. Town libraries are cheaper. Even fairly isolated hostels in the hills are rarely without a connection. Good idea to leave the Mac at home. Plenty of stuff to lug around.....the less you got the less to charge batteries for and the less to lose. Go empty,come back full is my motto. If you find some sunshine please post a bucket of it to UK...we need it. Have a great time.
Answer 3 :
I took my Macbook on two trips to eastern europe. Just bring a security lock for it. Don't expect any but the expensive hotels to have internet access. But you can usually walk around any city and find some free WiFi access points
