Hey Guys
Just wondering if anyone out there is thinking about doing UE in late April next year. I know it's early but I love to start thinking and planning early.
I'm kinda basing my departure on this years dates. It's the cheapest option before its gets too hot and crowded.

I'm thinking about Mykonos option. It'll be nice to relax on the beach for a week after a hectic few weeks on the bus.

It's exciting thinking about it. Would love to hear from anyone else thinking of going around the same time Smiler

I'm looking forward to Mykonos. I've done a shorter Contiki before and it can be hectic and exhausting so the break will be nice. I'm hoping to be able to check out some other islands to while I'm there.
I hope the prices are thre same next year too. I'm going to book asap to try and get the early bird discount, then I can start organising stuff because I'm staying on in London after to work for awhile too.
Where abouts r u from?

oh im thinking of staying in london after too! im 24 and a sydney girl living in darwin.
thats a really good idea to try and check out some other islands whilst on mykonos, they should operate ferries and stuff you'd think hey?
i was actually booked to go on the ue this year on sept 2nd but i decided to cancel due to a big change in my travel plans, im trying to figure everything out but il be going to the us and canada before making my way over to london. i think il be leaving oz in october though. so have u been to europe before with contiki? where bouts ru from?

Hey kcsparkles
I'm 25 from Canberra. I'm leaving Aus. in Feb and heading to the US and I'm going to do either Wild Western or Grand Southern depending on $.
Then mid march head over to UK. Travel around a bit then start contiki in late April so I'll be on tour for my birthday (which is april 28)...So exciting!...I know it sounds silly planning so soon but still.....
I've been looking at a few guide books and apparently there are heaps of ferries travelling to other greek islands from Mykonos so there'll be plenty of options to try out Smiler

The last tour I did was in Europe but was alot shorter and in Winter. It was awesome though. I loved the snow and the tour was so much fun that now I wnat to do another one thats longer.

What kind of work do you wnat to do in London after?

I'm doing late April with Mykonos. I'm staying after it's done also. I'm going to tour Uk and S. Ireland but non Contiki. Then go back to Florence for school sometime in early August.

Hey Everyone..

My boyfriend and I are also looking to do the UE at the end of April. We are going to head out 2-3 weeks before the tour to hit up some sights that we want to see and to adjust to the time change.

So very excited!! This will be our first Contiki tour Smiler I was in France for 2 weeks back in 2000 and loved it.
