Hey everybody! Only 10 days to go, very exciting stuff. Just a little bit of advice for people coming in to London, if you intend to catch the tube, buy what they call an Oyster Card straight away when you get there. It's a £2 deposit on it but you can get that back when you leave London.

With this card you won't have to bother buying tickets and fares will be half price so its definately worth it. Can't wait to meet you all!

I can't wait 7 more sleeps till I leave melbourne!! Excited now, just got to take out half of what I've packed and all will be set, as probably won't wear it anyway. Any thoughts on the weather, it is the end of the summer so will it be a bit colder at night anyway I'm thinking.??
Thanks ben knew there was such a card just couldn't remember the name of it.
See you all in london

thanks Ben the card will make things easier when i arrive.
shara looking at the map of London the best thing about Piccidilly line is we dont have to change trains, i think only thing to worry is about is missing the station!.also thanks for mention the card aswell with ben information it will make getting around london easier.

I see everyone in a couple days in London.

Well hello all! I only booked the tour on Sat 16th August, so maybe a little less organised than most of you hehe. I'm currently living in London and have done a Contiki Tour a few years back, so could've fed some good advice about. Unlucky! Hope you're all sorted anyway, only a couple of days now. I've gotta get organised, washing to do, shopping, damn, I'm running out of time!!
