My Europe trip. May-July 07

[raoulduke]

Hey guys as my trip gets nearer I figured I'd let you all know my plans. I'm hoping at this point for a 3 month trip, longer if I can afford it. This is my first big trip so the details are still a bit rough.

I'm leaving May 2nd with a mate and have a 4 day stopover in Dubai, I'm staying free at a friends place, and hoping to check out, among other things, the Wild Wadi water park.

After this I'm off to London from where I will embark on a 14 day 'European Highlights' Contiki tour, I'm not entirely keen on this kind of tour but I'm sure it will still be a blast. After the tour I will have around a week to explore some more Europe before saying goodbye to my mate and going it alone.

I plan to carry on for another two months after this however my itinery is still up in the air. The only concrete things I have is a Chemical Brothers concert in A'Dam at the end of June and a running of the bulls tour which leaves from London.

Please help me out by posting suggestions on places to visit in the time I have free (pretty much all of June and the second half of July) If anyone wants to recommend a rough itinery for me to follow I will certainly consider it.

Also at this stage I don't plan on getting a Eurail pass as they seem very expensive compared to using low cost airlines, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Well if you've made it this far thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any and all advice and suggestions.
