Future Plans for Travel in Europe

Come the 3rd of May we will be back at work, I'm going to resign on the the 3rd so that on the 11th I can buy a Eurorail ticket (600 marks) which will give me 15 days travel over the following three months. The latest idea is that my friend (boy) will meet me in Germany. Then the plan is to go to Brussels via Luxemburg and on down to Paris. Hopefully then spend 2 weeks in France and towards the end of the month Paz, who will have stayed on at the Sheraton will resign and join me in Paris, do some sightseeing. On 31st May my friend will return to Israel and Paz and I will continue down to Italy, across the Riviera to France and into Spain and Portugal and finally arriving in Pampalona on 7th on July for the running of the bulls. We will have very little money as living here has been more expencive than we thought. This means sleeping on trains, hitching, camping and going on a diet! The worst part of this is that we will have to do all our sightseeing with our packs on as we won't have a hostel to leave our packs at. We are planning on not camping in camping grounds, to save money.
On 14th July the Running of the Bulls ends and Paz will probably continue up to through France to the U.K. and some family she has there. I - hopefully with some train ticket days left - will use it to go straight across Europe, back to where we started, and back to Israel. After being in Israel a while I will finally fly home for a visit. After that I will take a deep breath and decide where to settle down.
I have calculated costs and we should just be able to make it through this plan. Paz plans to then sponge off her relatives get a job in the U.K. and settle there. Paz has been a bit depressed lately and resentful of my meeting up with my boyfriend, it is all a lot of pressure. It looks like it can all still work out. I'll be alone a few days between resigning and meeting my friend and I look forward to traveling alone, just to get some space.

We have been too comfortable here and getting back into the swing of travelling will be hard.
