what about yourself?

I go to school in Woodbridge, but I live in Aurora, so not downtown either.

Hey Nat,

5 grand was my planned spending money for my whole 2month trip - but looking at what ppl have written it looks like I'd be pretty budget - and who want's to be stingy on a trip like this??
I'm flying out on the 2nd of July - that sucks.

After this trip, I'm going to Endinburgh for 4 days on a topdeck tour - there's the Fringe festival on then which will be cool.

Then I'm doing the Spanish Spree starting 15 Aug... going to the La Tomatina festival 26-28th of Aug (it's in Valencia, Spain).. the huge tomato fight wahoo! Then to finish I'm doing Egyt & the Nile contiki starting 30th Aug.

The topdeck tour to Edingburgh was pretty cheap - around $350.. if you wanna do that?

Hey Nat!
I'm from the Hurstville area, so south Sydneyish. Where are you from?
Of course you can add me on Facebook! My email is Lozzamay@hotmail.com
Anyone else who is on facebook feel free to add me as well

Hey Ya'll.

Just set up my facebook - been using bebo.... (so behind the times..)

Anyway, I've added some of you, if you want to add me my email is lhill004@hotmail.com

CHUR!

Hi Lauzey

I live in Zetland which is Eastish.. about 10-15 minutes from the city..

I added you on facebook (just in case you think im a random)

Hey! I'm just wondering, are there two tours running alongside each other for each of the dates of this trip? I just checked out the dates and rates page for Euro Adventurer, and it lists two tours for each date, one called Tour Code CCPBC03 and the other is CCPBC103. They are both listed on the page and both leave on the exact same dates. I have heard of some tours that have two buses travelling around in tandem-- I'm wondering if this is one of them?

Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone would be keen to go to the Moulin Rouge instead of the other optional cabaret? Heard it books out quick... so I was going to book soon.

Let me know if you're keen and maybe we can all book together?

I was planning to do something other than the cabaret, since I did it last year-- maybe Moulin Rouge?

Ah well, the more the merrier then! :-) That means there will be around 100 of us travelling around on the same tour since each bus holds about 50 people!

Hi Suz,

CCPBC03 starts in London, ends in Amsterdam.
CCPBC103 starts in London, ends in London

same trip, same people, same cost, just decide which city/airport you want to end up.

Thanks Dave, that's the page where I noticed the two tour codes. I think they both end in London, though, even though the one says "Amsterdam" and the other one says "London" (the itinerary is the same for both, with Day 39 being "Amsterdam to London" where you can either go to the Amsterdam airport or go to London with the bus). When I looked at some of the other forum posts about the two bus thing, it seems that they just give the two buses different tour codes, and then people find out which bus they're on by looking at which tour code is written on their travel docs when they get them from Contiki. I could be wrong, though-- I guess we'll find out :-). Will be a blast either way.
