I officially booked my place on this trip yesterday! I can't wait!! I'm leaving aus on the 6th so i'll have a few extra days in London and i'm staying one extra day in Athens at the end. My passport should be here any day now!

Is anyone else having extra days?

I am arriving in London on the 7th and staying at the Royal National so I have a few days before the tour starts. When the tour is finished i have booked a flight from athens back to london but i think i might stay in europe and travel a lil bit more. If anyone is interested in staying longer with me and running a muck it would be great. Im meeting a friend over there and may go to Ibiza and party for a couple of weeks.

Hi Becca,

Are you doing the Greek Hopping Islands starting June 30th?

If you are, so am I...! I'm so excited ;-)

Hey Becca, oh Ibiza would be so so awesome! sadly I will have to return to the real world and my 9 to 5 office job.... *sigh* lol

Has everyone else travelled before? since its my first time I'm super excited but super nervous!

Ill be a night before and after statying.
I want extra days too! lol but i only just will have enought holidays saved up for the trip. a month of work will be awesome! lol
Im also scared about being bus sick after a night out lol

Its my first time travelling too. Yeah I hate being hungover and travelling on the bus but at least they have a toilet on the bus just in case lol.

Hello, everyone I am considering booking this trip next week! I see that there are alot of girls going alone, yay! I am doing a Contiki next week to Egypt and I'm kind of waiting to see how that goes. I am going to do the London to Athens plus Greek Island Hopping. I wanted to get on here first and see if people were going to arrive a few days early/stay late? I would like to add on a few days at the beginning and possibly a while at the end (a week give or take.) Let me know!

id be interested in doing that. I was thinking of going to germany after if anyones interested

I'm from Melbourne, Australia and will be spending a week or so in London before the tour starts on June 10th! I'm going to be doing it alone as well but it's soo exciting to meet new people and see Europe together! Can't wait!

Hey did you guys see on the contiki website that our trip is a definite departure now? so so excited! I cant believe we still have to wait more than 2 months! wish we were going now! Does anyone know if there is a limit to how big our bag can be on the bus? I’m nervous that they’re gonna say mine is too big is everyone whose getting to London early staying at the Royal National?

I think it has to be certain weight to get into heathrow. Im gonna get sleeping bag ect when i get to london so i can take more stuff on the plane. I am staying at the royal national for 3 nights before the tour. we should all meet up and have a big night on the london town before?

Oh thats a heap good idea Becca! never thought about the sleeping bag lol! I'm getting into London on Sunday the 7th so we should definately hit the pubs before the tour starts!

I get into london on the 7th too about 6.30 in the morning. Im getting soo excited about the whole experience!!

I got my backpack today yay!!! I was wondering if anyone would like to go to amsterdam with me after the tour?

Hey Becca how long are you planning on going to amsterdam for? I'm dying to go there (my family's half dutch lol) and I'm tossing up whether to stay longer in europe than I orginally planned because my work situation has changed!
