Hey guys!



Me and a friend of mine are thinking about doing the adventurer mid-may. Anyone else going on this trip at that time? Its my first time in europe so im really excited and a lil nervous. Anyone know how the weather is in May?

Hi Michelle and Friend,

i have just booked this tour also every excited and a little nervous as iam travelling for the first time through europe by myslef but iam sure well will all be fine. i have been told by friends that the weather midd may through to june it quite nice  and down the south of france through italy and greece it should reach up to 30-35c degrees which would be fantastic for traveling not to hot nor cold. one of may concerns is how much to take in spending money per day do you have any idea

Let me know what you decide

Nat

Hey Michelle and Nat,

I will be booking this trip next week. I am really excited as well. A friend did this trip a couple years ago and said it was an amazing time. I also heard it gets to around 30c which will be nice for the beach.

No idea about money, sorry. Anyone going early and checking out London a bit?

Lucas

Hey Lucas,

On my iteriary it advises tour actually leaves on the 16 may 2006 which varies from the brochure being 14th, what does yours say?? so i will be arriving in london on 13th for a few days sight seeing and staying in the royal national hotel

Nat

Hey Nat,

The tour leaves from London on the 16th. My brochure says the 14th too, but I think the first couple days are for getting to London. I plan on getting there a couple days early at least for London and maybe even earlier to see Dublin or Edinburgh if I can swing it. I hope to stay at the Royal National as well.

Turns out the World Cup will be going on around the time the tour gets to Germany, so the whole country will be a party. Should be quite the event. Talk to you later.

Lucas

hey everyone
i to will be doing this tour but on the one that departs 25th april. i was told that about A$100 a day should enough but ill be saving around $4500 cause im stopping of in bangkok on my home to most of my shopping.
if anyone has any more questions just let me know and ill try and help

cheers
Laurelle

Hey,

I am finally booked. The trip looks amazing and I am really excited to go.

Lucas

Hey Lucas

Excellent, only three months away now and also getting very excited! I will be also heading up to scotland for a week or so before hand to do the family thing and then to london for about three for days so if you want to chatch up before hand let me know!

P.S germany is going to be a total buzz with the world cup going on.

See ya soon Nat

Hey Nat,

Yeah, I can't wait. I still think it is pretty far away, but at least everyone I know is jealous.

Turns out I will be in Scotland as well. I am landing in Edinburgh on the 5th. Then I will be a doing a mini-tour of the highlands. Check out a distillery or two hopefully. Afterwords, maybe a night or two back in Edinburgh, then off to London for 2 or 3 days until the tour starts. I am really excited about London and Edinburgh. Edinburgh comes highly recommended.

If you want to meet up to cruise around London that would be great.

Lucas

Hey guys! Me and my sister are going to be going on this tour to! We were booked for the 17th, but they cancelled it. I can't wait.

what do you mean they cancelled it?
Michelle

Hey guys, I just signed up for the tour too!
Very excited, it's going to be great!

When were in Germany and if the World Cup is there at the time, the place is going to be a gong show!

hey everyone, me and my friend from texas JUST booked for this trup and are hella crazy excited.  ive never been on contiki before, and on top of that ive only been to london for like.. 2 days and spain for a couple, and omg i cant wait.

seriously

Yeah, my travel agent called me yesterday and told me they cancelled the 17th trip, because it wasn't a guaranteed departure. I don't mind too bad though, it just means I am leaving ealier now! I actually figured out that it is 73 days, give or take, which I now sounds silly but I'vew been wanting to do this for years!

Hi Guys,

We are 2 mates travelling together from New Zealand and are all booked and ready to join you all for May 16th. We are leaving NZ on May 4th and stopping in Singapore on the way over and then a week or so in London. We are staying at the Royal National Hotel the night before departure and would be keen to catch up with anyone whos around before we leave.

Are you guys planning to do all the optional extras? they are posted on the website, a friend of ours advise us that its a good idea to do all the activities. Can anyone tell us how much we should be allowing for spending money (have none anyway )

Look forward to hearing from you all and meeting you in May.

Ciao
