So I have 19 days til I leave on an adventure, and I have finally started to make some decisions about my trip. While these decisions are made on no experience, but on research, so anyone who has been there that could offer me advice would be great.
I land in Munich on June 21st, and do not have to be in Austria til July 2nd. Twelve days to kill. For this leg of my trip I have purchased a rail pass that will let me travel through Austria, Germany and "benelux." (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg) I do not plan on getting too crazy in this time period. Some sight seeing, adjusting to the time difference, and plenty of beer drinking.
Now onto something way more serious - luggage! I am going to be gone for two months, yet Air Berlin, the wonderful airline that had the best price, will only allow me to bring one bag weighing no more than 50 lbs for free. While I think I could pull that off to get there, I am sure while over there I will acquire things - clothes, souvenirs, MUSTARD that I am suppose to bring back for my brother, and who knows what else. So unless I replace all my clothes with souvenirs, I am gonna have to bring two bags. It does not leave me much of a choice does it. The airline could atleast give me a reach around before it screws me.
Yea, as of now, luggage restrictions are my only complaint. Back to the decisions that have been made.
June 21st - July 2nd - Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt
July 14th to July 18th - Prague
July 21st to July 25th - Budapest
July 28th to Aug 1st - Amsterdam
Only July 2nd I will arrive in Innsbruck, and all the time that is not accounted for above will more than likely be spent in Innsbruck. After all the main reason for this trip is to complete MGT 305 and FIN 311
Aug 9th - Aug 21st - I will take a train south from Austria to see Venice and Rome. Then an overnight train to Paris, then onto Normandy. From France I want to train hop til I get to Bulgaria, and after a few days go to Romania, and then onto the beaches of Slovenia. By that time I am sure my finances will be running low, and I will simply return to Munich.
Aug 21st - Aug 23rd - Recover from the travels, organize my things, and spend the last few nights at home world famous beer halls like the Hofbrauhaus.
This is my first attempt at traveling through Europe, so any suggestions or advice would be greatly accepted.
