hey all, we are going on an interrail trip for the first time, and what do you think of this route?

austria - münster (germany)
münster - köln
köln - paris (with a fast train) (are the supplements high?)
paris - bordeaux (with a fast train) (or is there some beautiful landscape or sth worth to visit?)
from bordeaux down the coast with regional trains and then to perpignon
perpignon - barcelona over the mountains
barcelona - going spontanious round the coast
barcelona - fly home

and we want to go skateboarding in spain - does anyone know some nice spots? (and maybe some good spots at the beach or in squats to sleep - we won't have enough money for hostels every night)
could you give me any suggestions? are we missing beautiful spots if we are going on this route? and do you think 22days with 10 travel days will last?

greetz, marli :D
thanks!

some extra information...
Köln (Cologne) to Paris with Thalys: [u]https://rail.cc/en/cologne/train/c[/u]
it is something around 13 EUR with no changes. try to get this reservation already in Austria or at least some days before using this train in Münster main station.
to get from Bordeaux to Perpignan, use regional trains to Toulouse, change to Ax-les-Thermes and from there to Latour de Carol-Enveitg.
there you can use the fantastic Petit Train Jaune with no supplements which is going down the Pyreneas ... it is a lot of fun and in summer the train has no roofs... really cool to travel downhill !!
be early at the station of Latour de Carol-Enveitg where the train starts to get a seat in a car without roof. put your bagpacks under your seats, it will be full but still good to relax and enjoy !! :)
