Hi Lucas,
Yep I will be on the UE departing 28th March and I am going on the Egypt option. I can't wait, esp being on Gallipoli on Anzac day!! Are you and your girlfriend going to Mykonos or Egypt?

G'day All

I'll also be doing the UE tour departing 28th March (I've picked the Mykonos option). I'm looking forward to being in Gallipoli on Anzac Day 2006!

I'll be in London for a week before the tour starts. Then after getting back, I'll be staying in London again before going on the Great Britain + Southern Ireland tour starting 18th May.

I've decided to find hostel accommodation nearby the Royal National Hotel, I guess either the Generator London or Astor Museum Inn? Anyone else doing the same? Post a message if you are or even suggest another hostel... check out www.bestlondonhostels.com

My email is fernando352@yahoo.com.au

I did the UE in August 2005! Last year! EEK!

I am so jealous of you all! I hope you get to spend longer in Gallipoli as it is Anzac day. We were only there for a few hours and that morning was a 5:40am departure! Ugh!

Any questions at all, just ask!

I'm going on the UE 28/3/06 but was informed by Contiki that it's the following trip that departs 2/4 that goes to Gallipoli on Anzac Day for the dawn service, so what is going on?! I hope my tour doesn't go on Anzac Day because that doesn't interest me.

Anyway am looking forward to the trip very much, as it is my first OS adventure. Is anyone else doing a working holiday in London after the trip?

Thanks for the reply.  It's all a bit confusing as my travel agent rang Contiki after I saw the message board to clear up which tour was going to Gallopoli and they said it was the 2nd.  But it must be the 28th.  On the web site it says the tour is now guarenteed to depart - will have to pay in full now!  Although I was initally hesitate to attend the Anzac Day service, I suppose it's a once in a life time experience.  Just hope it's not to full on, I don't want to get down about what happened there whilst I'm on hols.  Looking forward to meeting you all.

Bellow is the response I got from Contiki.

Hi Nicole,



The Ultimate European 28 March departure visits Gallopoli on day 28 on the way to Cannakkale which is the 24 April. As you may know Anzac day is the 25April, therefore this departure will not be there on Anzac day. Please keep in mind passengers on the message board have booked from all around the world and therefore have slightly different itinerary dates. A few countries are a little different, this may be where the confusion is coming from.



Best regards,
