Hey Tam

My name is Bec, and I will be on the same tour as yourself. I leave for the UK on the 25th of September. I can't wait. The only thing is I hope I have enough money for the length of stay.

I have so much planned the days before and after the tour . I'm meeting with a few friends I haven't seen in a while from my last Contiki and we're all going to be tourists. Can't wait.

hey bec , that sounds great....
yeah have got few things planned few days before contiki and we are going to be in London for week after too.... cant wait so much to see n do...

Hey girls
Im hearing you about the whole money thing...totally stressing that I won't have enough. Although I think I would probably do that even if I had heaps. Have you guys booked any tours yet for whilst in London. I have been looking at a few different ones but so hard to decide which ones to do. Thinking of taking a day trip to bath, stonehedge and windsor but not sure yet???
Only 2 weeks today till I set off....aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!

woooohoooo 3 weeks today for me....
yep looking at some tours but for after contiki wannna go see stonehenge tooo... so yeah not sure. thinking prob go on tour of some of the attractions when get there b4 contiki.... cant wait.. will be soooooooooooo good
money is worrying me heaps.... pound is so crapy for the aussie dollar... CRAP!!!!!

Hey Tammy and Everyone

I'm booked to go to bath and stonehedge the day after the tour, it's a full day 10 hours. I booked it through flight centre, I can't wait. I finally picked up my documents yesterday and finalised additional accommodation after the tour back at the royal national and day trips before and after the tour, so i'm not as worried now about money. I'm also going to get a pasport for GBP from travelex, so I don't have to worry about keeping money aside for when we return from the tour. The count down has begun.

Bec

hey bec, thats great hmmm so wanna go to see stonehenge , wanted to see the moulin rouge when we are in paris you think we can maybe go see that or is it strictly just the optional extras they offer..??? how does this travellex passport work? my mate who has just come back keeps going on about it too......

The Travelex passport works by converting all aussie dollars you want for the UK leg of your trip in our case and converts it to GBP before you leave Australia. You then use this card like a debit card, but all conversion has been done before you withdraw the cash, the only fee is a cash withdrawal not a conversion as you have already paid that when you converted your money back at home.

It makes sence to me to keep my money separate so I don't over spend in Europe and leave myself short whilst in the UK. I won't have to worry about trying to work out the difference of how much something will cost me because i'll have this card. I only have 10 working days left till I go on holidays.

ahhhh i see.... mmm does sound like a good idea so that dont have to wory about pounds / euros and how much you have....
hey bec do u have email address i can email u on , so i can ask u qabout some other stuff ? or you can email me tleray@bigpond.com

My email is rjc141081@hotmail.com

Hey girls
I have only 3 working days left until I jet off....I can't believe it. So much planning and it is finally here. My mum has recently been over to Europe and Italy and took a travelex card (as did her friends). They advised me not to take one as they had some trouble accessing it from some places over there. They found that cards and travellers cheques worked better.
As for the Moulin Rouge...I am so keen to see it as well. I was also wondering how strict they were with extras and why that wasn't offered...do you think maybe its not on the nites we are in Paris.

Hey there , yeah not too sure about the moulin rouge. Might just ask when get to London about it or book it... we are in paris 2 nights so im gonna see if we have free time one night and if so Moulin rouge here i come.....
yueah lucky you not long til end of working week for you .... woohoooooo !!!
