You can get a discount off Greek ferries with an Inter-rail pass, they are cheap anyway.
From Germany, into the French Alps (WOW!) into Italy via Nice/Monaco(too beautiful). Down through Italy (Stunning!) to Greece to go Island hopping. At this time of year the weather is perfect and the sea is the perfect temperature. Greek ferries are very cheap and easy to use. Getting accomodation is SO easy. I would head for Thira and Crete, just for the Monoan ruins which are amazing!
Or Spain. I agree about Toledo. It\'s superb and very very interesting.
That\'s what I would do
At this time of year Northern Europe has too much interesting weather!

If you want beaches and you are going to the UK then I would recommend the Gower Peninsula in South Wales, just a few miles from Swansea and about 50 miles from Cardiff. It was the first ever place in Britain to be designated \"An area of outstanding natural beauty\". Gower information / pictures.
Other than that I had a great time in Belgium, Bruges, Brussels and Ghent are all great, and it\'s such as small country you can get to them all easily. Plus I have never met a Belgian who was not friendly.
If you are around Barcelona, there is a very cool place near there that is little known by tourists but merits a visit as well, Girona which has a fantastic medieval town centre.

If it\'s beaches you want and you\'re hitting the UK, I\'d recommend Porthcurno and Carbis Bay in Cornwall and Three Cliffs, Rhossili and Barafundle in Wales. I never used to be a beach person, but these places have converted me! Rhossili is not a swimming beach, more of a surfy one. I mention it for the views. Incredible place.

Amsterdam was a BLAST... What an interesting City, incredible......
Next Destination is Bruxelles... Maybe I stop on by Antwerpen just for the fun of it, or Rotterdam, though I have been told it is basically a big Port......
I eat some Waffels in Bruxelles and head straight to Lyon to meet up with Jeremie...... From there: Destination unknown...
Too bad, would LOVE to be somewhere near Birmingham now... And have a project with me... and Brushed... Well... Next time...
Thanks for all of your interest, guys......
Without Couchsurfing this trip would have been nearly impossible...lol...

.Matt im in Antwerpen at the moment and its bloody fantastic, well worth a visit even if only to see the central station!

And if you ever need a place to stay check out couchsurfing.com ...never fails. (EDIT scratch that just reread your last message)
Anyway let me know if you do come Antwerpen in the next few days.
Peace and love...
