England

Hello everyone,
I am in the early stages of planning my trip to Europe. This is my first trip to Europe, so I want to get as much in as possible, but I also want it to go over with some ease. I’m lucky, I’m traveling with my girlfriend, who speaks French, so some of the inconviences of my first trip will be moot.

Anyway, so the 2 trip options Im planning are for a 14 day span max:

1. London -> Paris (Normandy) -> French Riveria -> Rome

2. London -> Paris (Normandy) – French Riveria -> Barcelona

Questions:

A. For trip 1, is this a possible trip for the 14 day span?

I’m planning a British photography tour in March or April or early May 2009 (am fairly flexible). I’ve been to the UK before, but my main priorities on this trip are are seeing Glastonbury, Stonehenge, and Tintagel Castle (big Arthurian legend fan!), Cambridge University, Hampton Court (Love the King Henry VIII drama, too!), historical sites in London, and finally, I’d love to get to Ashdown Forest in Hartfield, England… home of Winnie the Pooh and the Hundred Acre Wood. Also a bonus: seeing Phantom of the Opera in London. About me: I’m American, 26, a student, non-smoker, fairly laid back.

Hi,

Im planning to work and travel from late december 2008 to june 2009 (maximum).

I cant decide between France and UK+Ireland

From your experience, which Trip would you recommend (considering the time of year, amount of money I have to spend etc.), where would it be more likely to get a job (very simple work and travel jobs), which country(ies) is more appropriate for work and travel/backpacking in general?

I understand english quite well, but I would want to improve my speaking.

My french isnt so good in general – how possible is it for me to get a job then?

2 friends and I are planning about a 2 month backpacking trip around Europe for May-Julyish. Our list of countries we’re going to is as follows:

England, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain and France. Ireland and Scotland are also a possibility if time permits to go between England and Netherlands, if we did so we wouldn’t dedicate quite as much time to those as the other countries on our list.

We anticipate starting in London, England and working our way around in a circle from there and ending up in Paris, France. The cities we have decided we absolutely must go to are:

The film “My Pub Runneth Over” presents a comprehensive journey to Britain and Ireland, including England (London, Stonehenge, walled cities & a castle), Wales, Ireland (kiss the Blarney Stone, Dublin, Cliffs of Moher), and Scotland (Edinburgh, the highlands, bagpipes & Loch Ness), plus interviews, and, of course, pubs.

The video can be seen on the web, if you have a high speed internet connection.
