Trip back on

So, I have been talking to Martin whom I met in London on my last backpacking adventure and I think my trip is back on. I really want to go, and although I ahve not been keeping up my research I really want to go to Eastern Europe before I turn 26, so my fares and such are cheaper. I had thought my trip would not happen what with this job I can't seem to end, and finances, but is looks like I will be sans job in August, which means I can either take another job right away or wait and backpack through Eastern Europe in September. I know it will be difficult financially but Eastern Europe is less expensive then Western Europe so I might just be able to pull it off.

Next trip to Eastern Europe

I have decided to take the month of September for another backpacking trip. This time to Eastern Europe. What I have figured out so far is I want to start in Amsterdam and work my way all the way south to Greece and fly out of Ameterdam.

I have been playing around and here is what one of my intineraries look like.
-Amsterdam 3 days
-Brussels 3 days
-Berlin 3 days
May need a travel day here
-Krakow 3 days
-Prague 3 days
Cesky Krumlov and Ceske Budejovse (can't quite read my writing, but I think that is the spelling)
-Vienna 3 days
-Budapest 3 days
-Ljubliana or Zagreb 1 days
-Split, Croatia 3 days
-Ancona, Italy Boat 1 day
-Greece 3 days
-Athens 4 days

I was also thinking I could head almost straight south-east from Amsterdam to Greece.
So hit a lot of countries.
-Netherlands
-Belgium
-Germany
-Poland
-Czech Republic
-Austria
-Hungry
-Romania
-Bulgaria
-Greece
What that would mean is that I have have about 3 days per country because I am figuring a month total although that might be too ambitious and I may need 6 weeks for this trip.
