I will also be travelling alone for the first time...so I am a little nervous, but very very excited at the same time!!! If you want to chat - drop me a line. I can not wait to go on this trip. It will be brilliant! Talk soon I hope.. see you in August. x |

Hey again!!!
I dont actually live very close to London - approximately 4 hours away.... but I will be staying in the RN - Hotel on the 12th due to the early departure time on the 13th. Places of interest in London are the usual - The London Eye (its very good - you can see everything on a really sunny/clear day), Madamme Tusuades is also cool if you are familiar with Brittish celebrities, royals etc. Theres also places like downing street and all the typical touristy places. I myself love the art/photography galleries - the Saachi gallery is a favourite, but the Tate Modern is also very interesting (thats if your interested in the cultural stuff). I love Southbank....it a pretty expensive part of London- but there are some nice wine bars and a very lovely Crepes resturaunt. Im not in London very often... but the Westend is usually the place where people seem to head for theatre and the arts, trendy resturants etc. Sorry if that is not of much use.... Im a bit of a country gal..... (I come from the sticks/country) - Going to London is normally for work/student things/galleries. If there is anything more specific you wanted to find out about please dont hesitate to ask and I will try to help out. Where abouts are you from and have you been to England much before? What are you most looking forward to on the European Experience? Talk Soon. Rist |

cool. never been to london. this will be the furthest ive been outside australia. first time in europe. ive got a cousin who lives at whales but i think its too far to travel there.
definitely check some of those places you said. is it quite expensive to get around? transport wise n stuff. i dont even know where im staying. the travel agent just booked me in some hotel. i should really make the effort to suss on what im doing and going. im pretty disorganised. thank god for contiki. to top it off ill be be having my 23th the day after the tour finishes. how awesome is that, cant wait. had my birthday last year at new zealnd - this year london. yeeeha |

It will be your birthday?? WOW - thats pretty special! I hope you have a really lovely time over here in England. Yes Wales will be too far away... it take about a day just to travel there. But that is a great excuse to come back over to Great Britain more often! Getting around in London will be very expensive yes... however, you can buy tube tickets (day pass) and use the tube to get from place to place rather than use taxi's and buses. Sometimes the bus tours around the city are a very good way to get about and see things. As with most places- usually things are within walking distance. I remember the last time I went to London for the Film Festival - we ate in a lovely place like ' chinatown' or something like that..... it was like little china - all original/authentic chineese food. Its definately worth checking out some of the smaller, lesser known areas too (usually you will just stumble across them). As it is a city - food and dining out might be a little more than usual too. I bet you must be really excited to be travelling over here. I think you are really brave to do it alone - but you will meet up with loads of lovely people when you are here! I am looking forward to meeting everyone too! Hopefully we can make some nice new friends. Do you think the majority of people coming on this trip will be single travellers? My travel agent booked me in to the hotel where Contiki picks us up from on the 13th @ 6:00am. Look forward to meeting you in a few months! Rist.x |

HI,
My friend has pulled out of our planned trip to Europe. We were going to do the 20th departure date,,,but I am thinking I may book for the 13 departure date, seeing as it looks like there is actually people on this one! I have to check dates with work first,,,but fingers crossed.. It will be my first time to Europe and i'm doing it alone...a little scarey but it will be good.... Where abouts in Aust are you from?? I also I have relatives in Whales... Chris |

DO IT...DO IT!! BOOK THE TOUR!! I finally sorted out my travel insurance this morning - now it feels like I am one step closer to the tour! I can not wait. Please do not worry about "doing it alone". It will be scarey for the first few moments - but once you meet other 'lone travellers' such as myself - it will all be brilliant and exciting!!! I am travelling alone for the first time too! But I think everyone will meet new people and make some new friends. It is going to be brill. Hope to see you on the 13th! Where about are you from Chris? |

Hi,
I will definatley be traveling and although it is a little scarey to do it alone im going to do it. apparently is is more expensive if yoiu travel before the 15th August, but i will cheak out the costings and see by how much. I also need to clear it with work, weather or not i can move it a week earler... I am in thailand at the moment and will sort it out when i get back next week. I was born in Australia (in 1982),,,so it looks like i may be the oldest on this trip...in years anyway..., but mum was born in Wales, stratford upon avon ( or however it's slept) and we have cousins and stuff living in cardiff... |

sorry i think you meant where do i live....sydney.. |
||||
|
i dont know those places you guys are talking about but they sound cool. i know thailand but never been
mates been asking about this trip and i think he wants to go. he just needs a push to actually do it. travelling by yourself shouldnt be to scarey. like rist said you'll meet other people there and you never know, you might just end up staying a couple of days exploring. im from brisbane near the city. where you from dude? |
||||
|
hey,
you should get yoru mate to come...the more the merrier...Geez lets hope i can get the week off work earlier otherwise i might not be coming... fingers crossed I can... yeah I know i'll meet people it's just a little scarey at first cause your on the other side of the world...But im actually starting to look forward to it now!! I am from Sydney, in the eastern suburbs...Oh and Im not a dude I'm a girl...hehe... chris |
