Hey Whitie,



I was thinking the same thing, but i decided that i am going to take a suitcase, because carrying 20kgs around would be hard for me. When i rang contiki to ask about the bags, they said that a suitcase was fine, as long as you only have 20kgs. i am also going to take a normal backpack on the bus for all my other ****, plus it can act as a over night bag when we go on the ferry. i also asked if the sleeping bag was part of the 20kgs, it is NOT, which is good.



Just make sure that the suitcase, is within contiki's bag size that they allow.



Cheers

Thanks for the info Aleks

I sent an email to contiki asking for the bag size and i got this reply:

"Baggage is restricted to one reasonably sized suitcase. Please ensure you suitcase is NO LARGER than 73cm x 50cm x x25cm (29? x 2? x 10?) and a maximum weight of 20 kgs (44lbs). On all tours the suitcase size and weight is very strictly enforced. External metal framed backpacks or vanity cases are not permitte4d as they make it difficult to pack the coach. One small piece of hand luggage with a maximum weight of 5kg (11lbs) will be allowed onto the coach. These requirements are for your own comfort and safety."

Hope this helps for you all
Whitie
