I wanted to teach the gadgets you carry with me on this holiday island of Lanzarote.

Although it seems a few simple gadgets, good sunglasses and a hat are essential in this latitude of a planet, a cloud here is an oddity in the landscape.

The cornerstone is my a Dell Mini 9 netbook, I use for almost everything, see road maps, consult websites of places to visit and view reviews and prices, view restaurants.

For all these queries when I am outside the hotel and use a modem huawei simyo card, about the only card that works extremely well, so I’m very happy with the bill and the quality of service wherever I go.
