hey guys, forgot to mention...


Is anyone interested in booking for the Louvre online? I've heard a lot of people missed out because the lines in July to get in are huuuuuuuge. (apparently the scene from eurotrip movie with the queue out front of the louvre is for real that long!!! lol)

I have looked up a few websites and im finding pretty cheap tickets that will allow us to enter without having to queue up to purchase tickets at the door Smiler

let me know if anyone else is interested in doing this for our free day in Paris on Sunday 19th July. After all, the only optional in paris is the nouvelle eve dinner and show and that wont be till night time.

ps. if anyone is looking for a guided tour of the Louvre with no waiting time on lines at all, check out this website:

http://www.viator.com/tours/Pa...PA?pref=02&aid=g1950

tour leaves at 9.15am and goes for approx 2 hours. anyone wanna book in for the sunday one? I'd love to have someone to go with Smiler

there are also regular entry tickets available without a tour for a much better price here:

cheers Alex.

PS. Where do you get all the information from as to what we're doing and when, so we know our free day?

PPS. I am looking at Day 1, and it says that the Louvre is included. Me = Confused.

Hey Meg,

I know i'm a bit confused too cause on our daily itenerary it says "see the Louvre..." but that doesn't mean contiki is paying for our entry or cutting the lines to get in.

If you want, give me your email address in a private msg and i'll forward you the itenerary i put together along with all the optionals and how much they cost. it looks like a budget but i think it'll help Smiler

also, if you go to the contiki website and click on "european Vista", then click on "choose a departure" and select July 18th. After that just click on view daily itenerary and 'view all ietnerary days"

that will give you a breakdown of what we're gonna be doing every day with the dates on top to make it easier to read.

let me know if u want me to send you the stuff i put together.

take care Smiler
