Hey all,

I'm looking at going on the London to Athens Contiki Departing on thet 15th July next year (I know, ages away - I just can't wait!)

I am 23 and live in Wellington, New Zeland.... hoping to meet some others who might be going on the same trip as I'm traveling alone, looking forward to meeting great people from all over the world

So I'm all booked in and deposit paid It's official, and going to RAWK!

Anyone else signed on for this yet?

hi tazzy

i just put my deposit on for this trip today. im so excited! ill be 20 on the trip, from melbourne, australia. are you doing the greek island hopping too?

has anyone else signed up for this trip?

Hey there!
That's awesome, so there are 2 of us so far, from the forums anyway

I'm not doing the Greek Islands, am going to stay one extra night in Athens then fly home from there.

I'm spending a week in Melbourne on my way to London actually, hehe. When do you fly?

T

im flying out on about the 10th july i think so will spend a few days in london before the tour starts as i really want to do a bit of sightseeing. when are you planning on getting there? staying at the hotel (cant remember the name...national maybe?) before hand?

I get to London on the 9th July I think it is, I've got a friend there I'm going to stay with which will be great!

Apparently there are big drinks the night before the contiki leaves so we can all get to know each other so I'll be there for that

I can't wait!

Hopefully more people from our tour jump on board the forums so we can get to know each other. Do you have facebook? Feel free to add me miss.tazzy@gmail.com

Hi, I am booking the London to Athens w/ Greek Islands tomorrow. I am 24 from Texas and will be traveling alone. I am planning to arrive in London on the 10th or 11th and will be staying at the National until the tour starts. I'm on Facebook tiffanyabishop@hotmail.com.

I've just booked my seat on this tour.. very excited!

I'll be travelling with Erin, 20 and my sister Ceri, 18 (who is currently working in the UK). We're all from Sydney, Australia. I'm 22.

Hey there Oz,

Yay another on board,
It's going to be a great few weeks!
Done anything like this before?

Anyone on here keen to go to the Moulin Rouge in Paris first night?

T

Erin and I are flying in a little early (July 7) so we have a week in London and to catch up with my sister. We'll probably have to stay at the Royal national the night before (because it's easier) so hopefully we'll meet other tour people!

Still not sure what optionals we're going to do! Moulin Rouge sounds fun though!

Hi Tazzy,

I have done fair bit of traveling before, however this is my first contiki tour.
I got few mates in UK and Greece , Looking forward to it. Not long to go

Just hope this stupid swine flu does not get to Europe. I am thinking of extending my stay in Greece once the tour ends.


Moulin Rouge sounds like a good plan


Who here is from Melbourne ?

Well, according to the website our tour is fully booked! I paid up today and am so excited! Just wish the royal national was a little cheaper.. pretty expensive for backpacker accomodation..?? We might just stay at a nearby hostel the night before instead. Are you all staying there?

Hey Oz - I've also travelled a bit before but am really looking forward to the French Riviera/Monaco and Greece as I didnt get to fit them into my last trip! Whats your plans after the tour ends? We're staying in Greece for a week after the trip (looking at Ios for a few fun nights) before heading up to north Europe and back to the UK in time for V Festival.

We're all Sydney girls

Hi sian

I am yet to book my accommodation in London , arriving on the 11th July . will have to sort accommodation very soon . I did browse around. A decent room is around 90 - 100 GBP per night .

i have mate who works for Sofitel which is a part of Accor group of hotels and he is going to get a discounted rate.

I managed to take off 8 weeks off work which was a mission . My plans are to head to Dubai, U.A.E for 4 weeks once the tour ends to meet family and back in Melbourne on the 1st September.

Yes the tour looks like fully booked i paid a month ago , yet to receive contiki paperwork
