Hi all, I am also on the same tour and travelling solo I'm 28 from Melbourne Australia. A little nervous and excited at the same time. Have you all travelled through Europe B4?
Don't worry about travelling solo. I did an American Contiki (Wild Western) on my own last year and there were plenty of aussies and others travelling solo on the tour. Contiki really looks after you. I've only been to Poland (was born there) but haven't been to other European countries. So really really looking forward to that. You staying at the Royal National Hotel a couple of nights before the tour?
Yeah landing in London on the 11th so it'll give me a couple of nights there. Not to worried bout travelling alone, I only have 2 friends whom I love travelling with but ufortunately neither could make it When are you arriving in London?
Thanks all for your messages. My mate and I are from Perth and we will be arriving in London on the 9th Sept, but not booking into the Royal untill the night before the tour. Its 6 months away, but we are SO excited. Its gonna be the trip of a lifetime!! Cant wait to meet you all! Bring on Oktoberfest!!
I'm looking forward to the trip also. However I'm a fanatical Hawthorn supporter and my heart will break if they make the GF. I've waited patiently for 18 years and it'll be just my luck tat they'll get in and I won't be ere. So I'm hoping you guys are AFL supporters coz I'll need you to be sitting in the pub with me when they WIN!!!!
Hey all, my name's sarah i'm 21, and i heading out solo on the 13th sept vista as well..! Soo excited. i'm staying at the royal national from the 9th till we leave, and then the night we finish up before heading home! can't wait for ocktober fest!
Hi everyone, my name's Shannon i'm 22 i'm also heading out on the European Vista on 13th Sept. I'm travelling solo and a bit nervous but mostly excited!! I'm staying at the Royal National the night before we leave! Terri, i'm also a big AFL fan but a Collingwood supporter! Looking forward to meeting you all!
Question for all here: Are the mahority of you taking a backpack or a suitcase? I'm unsure of what to take so interested to know what everyone else it taking??? Shannon, I'll let you off the hook, as devoted as I am to the hawks, the pies are my second side
I myself am taking a suitcase with wheels, mainly for the fact that it will be easier to pack and i can fit more in. Its probably also gonna be safer if i decide to buy anything breakable. Im actually an Eagles supporter myself (slightly embarassing at the moment. HA!!) because im from Perth. But im always up for drinking and watching the footy no matter who is playing!
I'm taking a suitcase with wheels also (the one I took on my American Contiki). I'm a Crows supporter, being from Adelaide, but I'm up for watching footy regardless which team is playing as well. With such a mixture of footy supporters, one of our teams is bound to be in the Grand Final - one of the teams hopefully being the Crows

Well I think I've been swayed to take a suitcase now and I agree you'd be able to fit more in which means I spend more money and buy more ****.... Ahh well!!! I'm traveling around 4 3 weeks afterward and wasn't sure whether a case would be the best way to go.. I'm excited now, wasn't thinking too much about it until I realised it's only 17 weeks away. EEEKKK!!!
