is it ur first trip?

Hi there - I will be on this tour too! It will be my 1st Eurotrip and I'm traveling by myself so I'm pretty excited! Hope you all are too!

Hi Mel,

only 7 wks to go!! woot woot!!

is any1 else worried about the weather?

Yay! Not long to go now!!

I think it's going to be unbelievably cold and probably rain a fair bit but there isnt much we can do to change it so may as well just make the most of it. I'm taking a very warm (and waterproof) jacket though.
The only thing I'm worried about is not having enough money cos Europe is sooo expensive!

Could pick up a few bargains right about now since were heading into the warmer season, I’m preparing for the worst, ur gonna think I’m crazy but i went out and brought thermal clothing.

I’ve been reading a few of the forums and some ppl reckon u only need 3-4k Australian dollars to survive the month, I guess it really depends on how hard u want to party with drinking and all, my rule of thumb for this trip go all out!

hey yeah i bought thermal wear as well im just worried bout shoes
wat shoes r u taking that look decent are waterproof and are comfortable???

I will def be bringing the thermals along as well. Shoes are tricky cos of the limited packing space. I'm thinking 1 pair each of flat leather boots, thongs, heels and casual flats. Pretty sure they wont be waterproof though...maybe gumboots?? haha.

hey mel
how old are u?
and where r u from
i just bought shoes and there leather that cover my ankles
they will just have to do
how much money is everyone taking?
xx
woo
just over a month to go!!!

I'm 21 from Canberra. So excited now! I cant beleive it's only 4 weeks away!!
I am going to be in Europe for about 3 months so have saved a fair amount of cash - going to try to limit myself to about 3k while I'm on the tour though.
I know it will be very expensive though, how much do you think is enough?

same i;m budgeting around the 3-4k aust dollars doubt it will be enough thou, im bring an extra credit card just in case.

i picked up the contiki tickets today looks like were all set to go, what day are u guys flying out to london?

Yeah, I think the credit card is a good idea, just as a back up if there is a shopping emergency.
I will be arriving in London on the 28th of October, still sorting out where to stay and everything - probably the RN. How about you guys?
