Hope we get a few more people on here for our tour....

All the best and see you soon.

Mike,

Thanks for the message! So excited to see another person on the list of futur friends... You're from South Africa? Cool! How old are ya, what do you do there?

I am so pumped for our t trip... I decided to travel this summer cause I am not, for the first time in 12 years, going to summer camp.  I was a camper for 8 years and staff for four, and absolutely loved it.... But I got to the top of the game last year and decided it was time to move on... I'm sure I'll be starting lots of stories this summer with "this one time, at  camp..." feel free to tell me to shut up.

Well see you all in less than two months!

Angie


loves ya!

Hey guys,


My real name is Kristel. Kewlbananas is the handle i've gone by since primary school.


I'm currently stressing about what the weather is going to be like. The average temp for Europes summer is colder than the winter we get in Cairns. The temperature just dropped to 25 degree cel. here and I was rugged up in a blanket. Is that bad?? I was looking at the max temps experienced in some of the cities we will be visiting and I don't think I ever been in temps that cold. Sigh.


Still can't wait though. My first time overseas and only second time on a plane. Having a lot of trouble concentrating on uni this sem.

Hey Guys,

Not long to go now!

Michael, not sure about any tips in particular, maybe make sure you bring some mulitvitamins with you, even if your not a big drinker it all soon start to take its toll with the late nights and slightly less than healthy food. I think that Europe will be slighlty different but after about a week in the USA everyone was dying for a stir fry!

Kristel, we are originally from Melbourne so it doesnt get as hot as up in Cairns but we have found the heat up here to be a different kind of heat to back home (i know it sounds crazy!) but here in London it was 24c the other day and i couldnt sleep at night coz of the heat, even one of the train lines had shut down for a few hours supposedly due to the heat!

Anyway, we cant wait to meet you guys and everyone else on our tour. Till then

Scott & Fiona

Hi,

I'm so glad that I went onto this site as I was concerned that I'm travelling alone and that I would be too old.

So now all good, as not the only one traveling alone and at 26 I'm not too old.

So now on to better things than worring.  Getting excited about the trip.  SOOO much sight seeing, eating, drinking and relaxing to be done.

This is my last Europe experience before I leave my home of two years North Yorkshire, England and head home to Victoria, Australia.

See you all soon
