Default Cybercafes in Norway

Hello all.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of cybercafes in Norway? I've
seen the list that's linked through the forum FAQ which is a start,
but I wondered if anyone has a list that covers cybercafes in some of
the more obscure areas? Me and the missus will be going on the
Norwegian Coastal Voyage, visiting the following towns:

Bergen
Floro
Maloy
Torvik
Alesund
Geiranger
Molde
Kristiansund
Trondheim
Rorvik
Bronnoysund
Sandnessjoen
Nesna
Ornes
Bodo
Stamsund
Svolvaer
Stokmarknes
Sortland
Risoyhamn
Harstad
Finnsnes
Tromso
Skjervoy
Oksfjord
Hammerfest
Havoysund
Honningsvag
Kjollefjord
Mehamn
Berlevag
Batsfjord
Vardo
Vadso
Kirkenes

Cheers,
Alastair

Libraries may have free internet terminals; Bergen does.
At least one of the larger coastal steamers has onboard
internet terminals, although at high prices and the cashier
seems often absent. What steamer are you taking - each
boat is very different - you can query this online.

Most of your stops won't be during hours such a netcafe
would be open, or will be in towns too small to support
such a place, or your stop will be way too brief for such
a visit (which would be anyway a poor use of time compared
to other rare opportunities). Maybe ask at the tour desk
onboard before departing for each brief stopover...

Thanks. We're travelling on the Trollfjord (one of the "Millennium"
ships). I've just given Norwegian Coastal Voyage a ring and it appears
you can send/receive emails at Reception (using the ship's email
address) but probably not actually access your own account.

I am planning to do a real-time web diary of our trip (photos and
stuff) and onboard facilities would make that a lot easier.

Cheers,
Alastair

Are you taking your laptop? You might want to look in to the
possibilities of using a GSM phone, with a local SIM (Netcom and Telenor
are the two main companies, but there are also some 'virtual' networks).
You'd have a variety of data options, GSM or GPRS, depending on the
phone you buy. As you wouldn't be on contract, it could work out quite
expensive, but very convenient. If this is something you'd plan to do in
the future, it could be a worthwhile investment.
