We're coming to see you for the entire month of December. Our pass allows us to visit any of the following countries:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Norway, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Serbia, Slovenia/Croatia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
We will begin & end our trip in London. What comes between is up in the air. Spain, France & Greece for sure, but where else would you recommend? Also, what type of weather should we be expecting?
Keep in mind that we're traveling light & cheaply. What's most important is having fun.
Thanks for everything.
With love & gratitude,
BrookePS. Love to meet some of you European NT'ers while we're there. :)

Well for one month you'll need to edit that list... Make sure you dont end up travelling the whole time.
Personally I would pick Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Serbia, Slovenia/Croatia.
The rest of Europe (I would guess) might get slightly generic if you're pushed for time. For example - dont do both Belgium and France. They're too much alike.

so much good places to visit
I think the best way is to start north [Germany] and then head south, France, Italy, Spain...
shit. Italy alone would need decades for a proper visit.
mine's probably out of range for a 1 month visit
go random then.
have a great f**kin' time.

london will be pretty miserable too, but that's why we drink so much! yay for alcoholism!
just got back from berlin, and i feel like a born-again-berliner, it's the coolest city in europe! i bet it would be really grim in winter tho

Lets face it - MOST places in Europe are freezing in November.
- Crouwel0
yup, but what about December?
- brooke0
We're not terribly concerned with the weather. It's an adventure, after all. We just want to be prepared.
