Hello Sarah and hi Luke. Sorry to hear about your original tour being cancelled Luke. I know I would have been upset if this one had gotten cancelled. Are you both travelling alone or with someone else? Can’t wait it’s getting closer.

I’m going on my own! I was wondering if it’s possible to try out skiing or snowboarding while we’re there? Ive never been near the snow before and it’d be awesome to give it a go, I mean I love to surf and skateboard.. how hard can skiing be?? Haha

Sarah, From having done this tour before and the European Vista I know there is no place to try skiing or snowboarding. Although if we get to go up Mt. Pilatus there will be plenty of snow. But no slopes to do anything on.

Yeah, I thought it was a long shot! Ive been to New Zealand but we went in Summer, awesome place though! So you’ve already done this tour Matt, anything I really need to know? I thought I might just go with the flow as I am unsure

Nothing you really need to know. Just have fun. Have enough money available if you can. For me the US dollar is still pretty weak right now. Hopefully the Aus. Dollar is better for you. It’s going to be a great trip.

I leave the US on the 8th and get into London at 6am the 9th. Nothing really planned in London before we leave. Just after we get back. Do you have plans Sarah? What hotel do they have you staying at? Royal National or the Imperial?

I’m staying at the Royal National. Thought I’d get a lot of sightseeing in, it’s the first time I’ll be on my own overseas which I’m looking forward to! Then after the tour I have to get back to Oz for uni.
I’m 20, what about you guys?- 0 people like this
