Hi guys.
Planning another interrail this year now that my s. america trip is off.
In Summer 08 I did:
Prague - Salzburg - Ljubljana - Zagreb - Split/Hvar - Dubrovnik - (ferry to Bari) - Rome - Florence - Venice - Paris
This year after some thought, we've come up with a similar route that starts a little further east, heads through a couple of places we'd love to go back to in Croatia and picks up a few missed places in Italy
Krakow - Bratislava - Budapest - Zagreb - Split/Brac - (ferry to Pescara) - Sorrento - Naples - Siena - Pisa - Bologna - Verona
On the last interrail our route changed quite a bit once we got on the road, so I'm expecting the Italy leg to change a bit once we get there. Going to be using the 10 days in 22 pass like last time and taking about 25/26 days for the whole trip.
For the above poster: Pack light! I took way too much stuff last time and even had a t-shirt or two that I didn't wear which is ridiculous. I'm aiming to take about 10kg of stuff this time in my backpack plus a small daysack.
Budget-wise, I'm hoping to get a 20euro average on accomodation as we'll be staying mostly in hostel double rooms, though this could be less since there are loads of nice camping places outisde cities in Italy, where you can get a mini-cabin for < 15 euro pretty easily. Including food, travel extras and sight-seeing, whole budget will probably be 40-45euro a day. Although having cheap days is great, I'm warying of missing out on stuff. In Florence we didn't set foot in a single museum because of money, which I definitely regret now.
