I think we're having a lazy, yet fairly structured saunter. Turns out its not going to last as long as I would have liked- only about 4-6 weeks, cause my brother, unlike me, still has a job after this month to go back to, and unlike me, doesnt get paid off.
The places on our combined list were Amsterdam, Berlin, near Munich (to see a friend), Prague, Sophia perhaps, Vienna, Venice, Verona, Nice. Roundabout 4 days each, sacrificing places if we like somewhere lots. Basically, I can do whatever I want; I can linger after giles runs out of money. I could go and aupair or work, or preferably join a circus. I really am free as a bee, apart from not being at all happy about travelling on my own. Though 6 weeks with the same person could change my mind for me.
As for which gap-year book; emm, i think it's just called the Gap Year Book, and it's yellow. They bring a new one out every couple of years.
Catjerome; the necessity of taking hairbands with me was a small factor in chopping my hair off- and it doesnt look a complete state if i leave itself to its own devices for a day or two.
My mums actually suprising me. She's much less in the "But you'll get murdered and raped and KILLED!!" camp than I thought she'd be. As in, what she's more worried about is when I come back and she and dad will be living in Greece for a few months, and I wont have anyone to cook for me. She doesnt seem to understand that we're being left to our own devices in foreign countries for a month or two; think I might survive living in my own home. So partay on, for 2 months or so.
Thanks everyone.

Nobody's bigged Verona up yet, and it's a lovely place ; the hostel we stayed in was in an old villa, and in the garden there were a load of old passageways and wee rooms carved into the hillside. Which entirely rocked. I can't even remember why we decided to go now, I think it was because we'd just been to Venice and fancied eating again after the prices there...
