does anyone know how to organise a facebook thingy? I'm pretty computer illiterate when it comes to stuff like this lol. I'd really love to talk to some of you guys! what is everyone looking forward to the most!??

Yay! glad to see you'll be joining us Alana.

Awesome - I'm pretty sure you have to book Mouline Rouge a couple of months in advance but I'll have a look into it tonight. I'm so glad you guys want to go I reckon it will be awesome!

I think I know how to create a facebook page... I'll do that tonight as well.

I'm really looking forward to Prague and...OKTOBERFEST!!

Are any of you going to be hanging out in London beforehand? I arrive there on 3 September

I think I arrive in London on 6 Sept.

I'm looking forward to soo many places. Top 3 is Prague, Italy and France.

How much do you think Moulin Rouge will be?

I've heard it's around 100 euros..maybe more? So it's pretty pricey but apparently worth it.

Yeah, at the end of the day I'm sure everywhere will be amazing, Corfu sounds like a lot of fun.

We should all try and catch up before the tour...I've realised that everyone I know in London will be working while I'm there...didn't think that one through to well.

A big catch up sounds great. Be good to know ppl before we go

Brilliant

By the way everyone I've made a facebook page it's called European Contrasts - 10 September 2009.

Hey everyone

I had a look into the Moulin Rouge

For just the show it's 99 euros (9pm show) or 89 euros (11pm show) that includes half a bottle of champagne (each I imagine.../hope).

The cheapest option if you want dinner is 145 euros but they serve stuff like snails...if you're into that.

The prices can change between now and then but I think the show tends to generally stay around the 100 euro mark.

It looks like you just email them to make a reservation and on the website it says "No ticket to be collected. Payment at the table (Credit cards, cash, Travellers are accepted)"

I'm thinking maybe book it two months in advance or something? I doubt they'll have the show times this early in the year...

Anyways I'll ask if anyone's interested again in like July or something

i just book london explorer package for 5 days after tour form 8th -12th oct staying at royal national.. and im flyig in on the 7th sept. yes we must catch up is any one else staying at royal national

I haven't booked my hotel yet. What's the Royal National like?
Good work Alicia setting up facebook

Hey I was looking through the Europe Advice and came accross this comment about the Royal National that one of the Contiki Moderators posted:

"You'll probably find reviews from people who didn't like it and then most will be that it was simple and fine. It's fine for a place to crash for a couple nights, and the price for the location is very good.

The Imperial is a tiny bit nicer and has the option of single rooms."

Hope that helps

Hey Alica, I am also interested in going to Mouline Rouge... I am so happy that there are many people on this trip now! I am very excited to meet all of you?? Nodody from the US tho? Looks like Im the only one so far =) Glad to meet all of you!

how come when I looked at the itinerary that the 10th sept. isn't a preferred departure? My flight info gets me to london on the 9th of sept. (leaving New york on sept 8th) but when I look at the tour itinerary... it says that the tour ends on oct 10th? Im leaving the 8th of OCt.! i feel like i am booked for a different trip now... im very confused! Alicia... I know you are flying into London on the 3rd spet. but what day does bus leave? the 10th right?? facebook me or let me know if you can

hey everyone, my name is amy and im from CO, USA! explorer1122664 if you are from the US your departure date from the US should be the 8th of sept, the bus leaves London on the 10th so you are booked on our tour. I had that freak out a couple weeks ago lol. im very excited about the tour.,..cant wait!!
