Hey Margaret,

Will be on the European Encounter 4th June-19th June
Then Spanish Spree 22nd June until 3rd July

nice, you'll be in Europe very soon

just got a call from my travel agent yesterday saying all my contiki documents have arrived and are ready for me to pick up tomorrow can't wait!

has everyone else got their contiki pack as well?

Hey guys,

Not long now. We can now oficially say our tour starts next month. Haven't received my documents yet. Has anyone received their documents? When is everyone arriving in Berlin?

yea i got my documents last month... there's a contiki document pouch, a europe guide book, free phone credit and lots of other stuff as well and the options of course. which options are you guys thinking of doing?

Stacey, who did you book your tour with? I did mine with STA travel and they said the pack should arrive at the very latest 3 weeks before your tour starts which would be next weekend...

I'm arriving in Germany June 30th, then travelling to Munich, Konstanz, Hannover and Aachen to visit some friends first before taking the train to Berlin the afternoon of the 7th.

I'm leaving in exactly 20 days!

Hello to all...

Am new here.. have also booked the 7 july tour.. 1st time with contiki...

will be arriving at berlin on the 5th... just wondering is there any good hostel to stay in???

Hey there,

From what I've heard in the past people have stayed at the Generator which was next to the Contiki hotel in Berlin. http://www.generatorhostels.com/berlin/

(though I think the hotel we're booked to for our tour is different and is in a different area of Berlin)

Good luck,
Margaret

Hi Maragret,

I booked through Flight Centre. I heard from them during the week that they have come in yeah. Can't wait just over 3 weeks til our tour starts. Looking forward to meeting everyone. When is everyone arriving in Berlin? I get there on the Saturday before the tour.

Hi, thanks for assisting. heard we are staying in comfort hotel.... which i don't think its accessible easily using the trains.. anyway.. i already book meininger hostel... *v*

Hi, mates! I'm John and I'm from Brazil. Let me see if I'm in the right Eastern Road: I'm leaving my country on the 6th July, getting into Berlin in the next day. I think I'll be with you!! Looking forward to begin the trip!! See ya!

looking forward to meeting everyone!

btw does anyone know how to get to the hotel by public transport, say from the Berlin Central Station?

haha... not too sure actually.... read somewhere that you got to take a train, change a bus and the bus-stop is in front of the hotel... maybe the contiki staff can help....

me again...

something i got from other forum.. not sure whether ours is the same:

Berlin- Comfort Hotel Weissensee
Prague- Ibis Praha Mala Strana
Vienna- Austria Trend Event Hotel Pyramide
Budapest- Hotel Stadion Budapest
Krakow- Express By Holiday Inn Krakow
Warsaw- Kyriad Prestige

may i ask... what's the weather like in July..? What are u ladies bringing...? i'm going with jeans & t-shirt, nothing fancyful... should be ok right?
