Hi Guys, my Name is Olga and im from Melbourne, Australia and i am in the process of Booking the London to Athens tour with the Greek Island Hopping, On 30 June - 2 August2007. Planning to get to London a week early as my best friend is lives there. Im travelling alone so really exited but a bit scared at the same time. So many questions about everything. So if anyone is doing the same would love to hear from you.

Hey Olga, My names Leni and my boyfriend and I will be doing the London to Athens tour on the 30th June...so excited Have u ever done a contiki before?
Let me know

Hi Leni, yes its my first tour and im really exited, but dont know what to expect. its good that you have someone to go with, im doing it alone because my friends cant afford it. But oh well, i guess il meet new people anyway. Have you done one before?

Hey Olga, im doing just the greek island hopping of the tour, my first time aswell. I am abit scared of joining a group when friendships have already been established in the london to Athens part,,, but we will see what happens

Hi Jerry, you will be right, wouldnt stress too much about it, just be friendly (which im sure you will), and im sure nothing a few drinks cant fixed, friendships will be made. are you travelling somewhere else first?

Your right drinks should take care of that, Im doing the European adventure first for 37 days, then onto the greek island hopping. Cant wait.

hey Olga !
my name is jodie and il be on ur tour, whhooo!
il be in london 2 days b4 it starts to do sum serious shopping ! im so god damm excited its all i think about.
il be travelling alone which doesnt bother me coz i know il meet a heap of pple anyway !

hwy Jodi, im glad im not the only one going alone. im so worried that il do too much shopping there and my bag want close, plus all of my stuff that i will be taking. i know i shouldnt take a lot, but i dont leave the house without 3 pairs of shoes (just incase) let alone europe for a month. iv actually booked my airfaire and put a deposit on the tour so im officially going. its going to be so much fun

lol ! im hearing ya im so stressing bout what to take ive already told mum to xpext parcels from london b4 the tour starts from all the shopping so i can make the 20kg weigh in ! its only like 160 sumfink days till we go ! im saving so hardcore but i know it will be worth it. your name iz interesting ! where iz it from ? :-)

Hey guys, it looks like you all finished posting a while back, but on the odd chance you have another look at this posting... HI!!

I'm also going on the trip you're all on except im only doing london to rome, so all of you get to have a bit of extra fun while i go back home

This is my first contiki trip and my first trip overseas and i'm sooooooo excited. im bringing my boyfriend with me, so im lucky and dont have to worry about the solo thing- although for everyone travelling solo im sure its a lot less scary than it sounds!

I'll also be in london for a couple of days before it starts, anybody know any good shops??
