hey guys, just wanting to hear from anyone who is doin the london to athens starting june 10th. am travelling alone so would be great to get to know a few ppl before i leave. hopefully hear from u soon. getting so exicted. would be great to share that excitement

hey, i'm on the 10th june tour too! and i'm also travelling alone, great to hear i'm not the only one. i'm from perth, aus. where r u from?

hey im from victoria. freezing hear at the moment so cant wait to get away.
think they'll be afew travelling alone. am a little worried though my sis did one last year and she had no worries though.
getting really excited. so much still to organise though cause im gonna stay overseas after i finish. where u staying before the tour starts? royal national?

yeah, i've heard perth is freezin too atm. i've been in london for 10 days now. lovin it! i'm not sure where i'm stayin the nite b4 yet. haven't booked. really should get organised. heard its a bit pricey at royal national?
its all a bit full on wen u leave home for long term, so much to organise. but once u get here u find its not so bad, everything just falls into place!

yeah i heard it was pricy too... apparantly not much to write home about either. my travel agent booked it so im not really sure how much i ended up paying. does sound like it is worth being their the nite before though...even if u just book for that one nite. the info session sounds abit important and i think we're leaving pretty early.... something i will struggle with.
how did u handle ur jet lag? what u getting up to in ur 10 days? i arrive on the 8th so am trying to plan a little for what i wanna do for those 2 days? any suggestions?

hi! im doing that one too! im from vic also, doing it by myself eek

im arriving the 8th too

so u'll have a couple of days in london too. where u stayin? i land in london at 5.30am on the 8th gotta find something to entertain myself so i dont go straight to sleep.
u getting excited? its come up so quickly.

i've just been seein the sites. doin the touristy thing. i managed to find a pub that plays the afl games which was great to get my aussie fix! hehe.
yeah, i'm definitely goin to the meeting the nite b4. i've got no idea wot i'm doin so i'll need it.
the jet lag was fine. i got in at bout 7am but slept heaps on the plane cos i got lucky & had 3 seats to myself on the plane. very comfy!
we should catch up for a drink b4 or after the contiki meeting?

i also get in at 5.30amish, what airline are u with? im qantas or british airways, not sure which one.
do either of you have myspace?
the thing im most scared about is going around london by myself, would be nice to have some people to go around with!
how old are u both?
Arrr so many questions!
and im staying at the royal national, triple share i think

Hey! Im Sarah and Ill be on the June 10th tour too! Im getting in a day early and staying at the Imperial Hotel. My older brother is going with me to (Im 20 and he's 22) I cant wait!! Anyone know of anything good to do in London pre-tour?!

one more thing...is anyone doing the 7 day cruise after we end up in Athens?!

i may have to visit that pub... not sure how i am goin to survive without football.... i plan to adopt at team when i get to ireland after my tour so i dont feel so homesick. who do u follow? im a pies girl. drink sounds good.
zoe, im flying with singapore airline... not sure why all thier flights seem to be such funny hours but i guess it'll be good to have a full day in london. im 21 and and my myspace is http://www.myspace.com/nikkiris.
sarah, still not sure how im spending my days but if u get some good ideas feel free to share with me im sure the time will go so fast anyways but if someone has something good to recommend i'd love to hear it. thats so nice ur doin it with ur brother. would love to do something like that with my fam

I think i want to try to go to get a drink at Lamb and Flag (the oldest pub in London) and do some shopping on Portobello Rd! Hopefully I wont be too tired! Nikkiris im so glad i met another girl on the trip!! I saw your page, your so pretty! http://www.myspace.com/ssorola ...weird question but how is your suitcase looking? More dress clothes than comfy ones or the opposite?! I still cant decide!

not a weird question at all. my suitcase is empty at the moment. have been thinkin lots bout what i will eventually put in there but havent actually gotten around to it. will pack way too much. i think im gonna pack clothes that will do both... can be dressed up but can also be casual. my sis did a tour same time last year and lived in thongs (flip flops) so i think i'll ba taking things i can wear with them. will chuck a few dresses in too cause im a sucker for dresses and dont wanna leave em at hm.

you will never believe this but i was TOTALLY wrong about what trip i was going on!! Im on the road to athens...NOT london to athens!!! that totally sucks cause i cant find anyone doing that tour!!
