whoa, you're way more organized than i am.
i'm doing the euro backpacking thing this summer too, but i'm really just winging it. i'm registering as a WWOOFer for the czech republic. i hope to be able to stay on a farm for at least a month or two to set up a base of operations, then branch out from there via couchsurf.com and friends.
no set schedule though. i just want to experience as much as possible and take it as it comes. good luck in your travels!

Might have to fly to Denmark then train it up.

Iceland really is something else. Just got back yesterday after hitch hiking around the south coast, got picked up by a crazy german lady in her hippyd out Citroen CV2 and got to drive it.
The land scape is just constant snow covered hills, glaciers, rivers and dried lava pits. And there people here are amazingly friendly.
Some pics...
Im off to the West Fjords tomorrow to help the german lady and her husband renovate a guesthouse. (Free accom)
Oh yah, and the girls are

Update
Spent 4 days in Copenhaggen, Denmark. Rode my bike til my ass could take it no more. Did all the Danish things, like drink beer in the sun and...um drink beer in the sun. But I did play a few Danish games and tried the Smoresbrod. Christiania was pretty crazy, hash stalls and music at all times!
Im now in Malmo, Sweden. Spend the afternoon here and take a night train to Stockholm.
Hoping to Couchsurf in Stockholm, then maybe ride and camp my way around Gotland, but it all depends...Scandinavia is fucking expensive!

HEEEYYY! Shroomery, damn its been a while.
Update:
Well yeah, I did end up riding a bicycle 600kms round Gotland.
Then went to Stockholm for a few days.
Then Berlin for 4 days.
Then Prague for 4 days.
Then Amsterdam for...I don't know. Damn that place was crazy.
Then Brussels for 1 night.
Now I'm back in fucking London. Looking at having to go home soonish, my bank account is looking pretty sad.
It's been a wild ride thats for sure, met so many cool people and seen some amazing things. When I'm back in Oz Ill make a journal post of exactly what happened, and some more pics.
Mr.Kite. Anything you wanna know about Iceland?

Haha, yeah I'm doing just that. Just running around throwing resume's everywhere. I just thought I'd shoot strait to London in case nothing comes up and my money runs dry, cos thats where my flight will go from. And yeah I'm not exactly 'legel' to work 
But theres plenty of Aussie's here who have good connections. I'm actually waiting to hear about a job with 'Contiki' which is about the best job you can get as a traveller.
So it's pretty dicey atm, I could be home within 2 weeks, or trying to decide where to go next

Hey guys, well...my time is up. I fly home tomorrow, which sucks allot...but I've had one hell of a life changing trip!
ohmatic, I'm generally in net cafe's...and most don't allot you to stick anything in their computers...hence the lack of pics. But when I get back I'll be making a big journal entry with all the pics and funny stories, so I'll put the link in here when I'm done.
P.S. Where in EU are you?

A good portion of those countries aren't in the EU 
Iceland is SICK. I'm sure you'll have a blast.
