Yep, I'm coming.

My bro just got back from this same tour and loved it. Our livers will never be the same again.

Hey did your brother give you any good advice? What was the weather like? Was there anything he wished he took but didnt? What extra outings did he go on and does he recommend them?
Cheers

Hey, the weather was great for my brother but a little cold in Corfu but when we are there it'll be damn hot. It'll be hot everywhere.  Things to remember: torch, vitamins, cold and flu meds (everyone get sick unless you drink through it), guys need shirt and tie and decent shoes if they want to go to the casino in Monaco. But you can buy something cheap of course. My bro was lucky to be in the French Riveria during the Cannes Film Festival and the Grand Prix, lucky bugger. As far as the outings go it's really up to the individual but he reckons that if you have the cash you should do everything because they're all good. I have a mate who just did a different contiki and said that the extra dinners were always awesome but my brother said otherwise. What ever floats your boat I guess.

Only seven weeks to go. I'm working in Glasgow at the moment and will be begin travelling in a few weeks. I'm doing a Haggis tour of Scotland and Shammrock tour of Ireland before hanging around in London for the week for the trip. If you haven't organised somewhere to stay yet, The Generator is an awesome hostel very close to Russell Square. It's the biggest in London.

Flynn.

Oh my god he went to the Monaco Grand
Prix! Lucky! Go Alonso!! How much did that set him back? Isn't it the
most expensive one to go to? Cheers for the advice, do you reckon we
would need to book accommodation in London? We are going to be in
Thailand for a week first, but are spending 2 nights in London before
the tour starts, then will be staying in the UK on a Working Holiday
visa for 2 years (if it ever arrives!!)

My birthdays on the 24th of august the day we are in capri and stay in sorrento. get to spend my bday on an island, yeh. How old is everyone else?
Will i be able to get into the casino with jeans/shirt/tie or will i need to pack some nicer pants?
i've booked the night before and 2 days after our tour at the royal national in london when i booked my tour. just thought it'd be easier that way.

Hey, my birthday is a couple of days later on the 27th when we're in Corfu. I'll be 26. That's probably one of the parts of the tour that I'm looking forward to most. Corfu sounds awesome. You'll definately need nicer pants because the casino is pretty swish. Though my brother bought pants, shirt and tie for 30 euro - bugger all.

You should probably book since you have the time. At least then you know you're safe. Especially since it'll be in the middle of summer and fairly busy.

Seeya. Flynn.

Another reason to get pissed, like we need it. Yeh cant wait for corfu, i tried to get an earlier tour so my b'day would be there, but they were all booked out, but im still on an island for my b'day so im stoked.

Only ONE WEEK now for me and im off to england, YEH! Cant wait.

 I got a life size cut out of the bundy bear from work yesterday, gunna try and fit him in my bags so he can come travelling with us and star in a few of my photos of famous places.

See ya's in London in a few weeks.

Im going with 5 mates on the tour, and we are aged 22 - 25ish I think, so yip, you seem to be the youngest so far, but hopefully plenty more ppl will come. I was trying to find out from my travel agent how many ppl were booked so far but she hasn't told me yet.
