Back To Wireless

I've spent a few days in a couple of random places here in Denmark: Odense and Ribe, before heading back here to Copenhagen for a few more days.

The photo above is from Ribe, Denmark's oldest town. It's a tiny little place with beautifully preserved buildings and little laneways. It's very much not the tourist season at the moment (I got the impression it'd be quieter still were it not for last week being the local school holidays) so things were pretty low-key, and quite a few places closed up for the week/month/season.

Unfortunately the (large) places I stayed both Ribe and Odense didn't offer wireless net access, which brings me to a rant that's been brewing for a while...

Namely: why is it so hard to find a café with free wireless? There are more and more popping up with wireless that requires subscriptions to various paid providers, but it seems it's actually getting harder to find free wireless these days. On this trip I've lost count of the number of times I would've gladly stopped in at a café and bought a coffee and lunch or a snack. Surely there's a market there?

Someone. Anyone. Offer me a warm café, good coffee and free wireless, and I'll be your best customer.
