Hello, I am really keen to do a trip to europe at the end of next year (its like a million years away but I need to save after my trip to asia this year) but I've just got a few questions about that time of the year, and travelling europe in general. Unfortunately it's pretty much the only time of the year I get a decent enough holiday to spend bulk time travelling (Australian Student)

- Has anyone done europe at this time of the year (mid-November - February), how did you manage it weather wise? obviously it means packing more heavy winter clothes. Obviously its the off season, did you find it annoying?
- How long did you spend over there? I have to go to Norway and Spain because I have very good friends in both those places, so the plan was flying into England, going over to France, working my way down to Spain, heading over to Italy, back up the guts through Switzerland + Germany, Through Denmark to Norway and down maybe back down through Amsterdam and Belgium to Fly out of England, or maybe fly out of Amsterdam.. It's a pretty loose plan so open to ideas
- Budgets? just that, how much do you need for a month or two in europe.. obviously Norway is super expensive but I won't need to pay for accommodation (or in Spain)..
<bot>: want to go to europe, what's it like in winter, how long should I spend there and how much should I budget...
