Hey I need your help with my Itinerary. I am starting to get overwhelmed. I originally was going to do a Contiki tour but decided against it because of flexibility and I really want to see Castles. I have watched massive Rick Steeves Video and read a book on Europe Etc... IT seems daunting that I will be traveling to Europe August to Nov 2012. In July I will be taking a tour through Asia and making my way to the transiberian to goto Moscow where I will be August 3rd. What I need help with is once I get there. I really want to see the cities and major tourist / what Europe is famous for. Also the castles and a few amusement parks, natural wonders, etc... I have included my google map with all sorts of castles I found online and some tourist locations. Can you help me with Itinerary and times I need in each place. Please keep in mind Oslo is on the list twice because my brother lives there and I can take a break mid-trip and at the end from all the travel.
Help me know the amount of time needed in each place and the route I should take using Eurail, possibly ryanair
