Awesome! I'm sure I won't see you on the 26th then cause you'll probably be going straight to bed! Hopefully I've caught up on sleep by then. Is this your first time traveling? Is for me so I'm pretty nervous about being in Beijing and London all alone I'm sure I'll be fine ...

I've actually been to a few of the locations before, since my family is Swedish, etc, etc... but i'm SO excited for Italy and Prague!! I'm going to the Dali museum on the 26th i think and possibly a musical if you want to come with!
Yeah sounds good. I'm not sure exactly where I'm staying yet. Friends from here, who are originally from England, are organising some relatives for me to stay with in london but will let me know the details later this week. Are you staying at the Royal National? Prague is probably what I'm most excited about, and also Munich.

i too am heading on this contiki,(nz'er who lives in aussie) so glad someone finally posted something! im doing it solo & each time ive checked havnt seen any interest! im in London atm, will be at the contiki hostel the night before. see you then!
No worries. I've decided to stay at the Royal National the night before the tour starts cause I think there's a group meeting and then it kicks off at 6am the next day. EARLY!

Heya, Londons all good, ive got my brother living here & a heap of his mates that used to live in Sydney with us, so theyre keeping me busy. i used to live in sydney for 2 years, & just did summer in WA for 6 months, but im moving to Melbs after my travels. i see your from melbs/vic too, How long you traveling for?
Melbs is great. I'm about two hours away from it but head down there all the time and would love to move there! WA is probably the only place I haven't been in Aust. I'm not traveling for long. Fly back on the 21st, would've loved to stay longer but have to go back to work :-( Hey, did you convert any money before you left. I'm just trying to work out how much cash to take on me, if I should use travlers cheques or just my visas.

Oh ive been traveling for 6 weeks now, so dnt have any converted euro left. ive never been to sure on the whole travelers chqs thing, i personally just withdrawl from my visa & keep a mighty close eye on it once i get it. but def convert some at the bank in aus, coz places over here have higher rates & then you wont occur cred card fees too. & from experience, cash doesnt last all that long anyway! especially if your planning to do any of the optional excursions? most of them have to be paid in cash on the day i think?
