May 13-26, I'm pretty excited. Right now our (girlfriend and I) tentative plan is to go from:
Paris > Zurich > Lugano > Venice > Naples > Rome > Florence > Pisa > Turin > Nice > Marseille > Bordeaux and back to Paris.
That's 12 cities in 13 days, which I'm kind of hesitant about. I don't want to spend all of our time travelling. I know you can get lots of trains that travel overnight, so you don't lose any sightseeing time, but that still seems like an unnecessary amount of travelling. My girlfriend and I differ in our opinions in how to see Europe though. She wants to do the tourist things while I want to wander around aimlessly and find things on our own. Twelve cities in 13 days doesn't really leave much time to explore. Any ideas? It's not a huge deal to cut down on the cities, but they are all cities I would like to see if possible...
Another thing I was thinking about was laundry. Thirteen days = lots of dirty clothes. I know you can do laundry in hostels, but that seems like unnecessary downtime. Again, any ideas? Personally I don't mind lugging around dirty clothes, but again, my girlfriend and I have differing opinions on the subject.
That's about all I can think of now, but I'm sure I'll have more questions between now and the time I leave.
Thanks in advance!
