  Yep bring them all. If you are bringing a hair dryer or iron be sure to check if you need a converter set to go with your adapters too. They don’t normally accept the large voltage range that other things do.

  If you’re taking your mobile use that as your alarm or buy a small travel alarm clock, they’re only about $20 and fit in the palm of your hand.

  If you’re coming from Australia you don’t need to worry about converters when plugging things in.

  I just got done on the Euro Whirl, and we only stayed in two hotels – London and Amsterdam. After that we stayed in Hostels, Campsites (Cabins), and Contiki Special Stops and I can easily say that almost every one of the non-hotel stops did not have a phone in the room. You could get lucky and hope someone else in your room (likely 3 to 4 share the whole trip) has one and rely on them, but if no one brings one someone will have to buy one.

  You’ll always have a pillow. Most campsites will give you one sheet for the bed and you’ll have to have a sleeping bag. If you are from the US or Canada you will receive a voucher to pick up a sleeping bag (a really nice one) from the Contiki basement in London, otherwise you’d have to bring your own.
