  Hi torz,
  
  I am not going to do a tour when I go over, I will be hopefully going straight into a job <!--graemlin::)-->
  
  I am doing a couple of tours at the end of the year though – Winter Wanderer and Ski Austria.
  
  How about you?

  Yeah I am sure it will go fast <!--graemlin::)--> I don’t get back from Europe until Feb 10 so I am hoping I am only back in NZ for 3 months before I shift! Ummm IT work, I have been doing it for long enough now that I should be able to get a job just on experience alone!

  i dont have an experiance either. they say you don’t need any. they teach you everything. the pays alil poor because you don’t have to pay for rent at all. and you get some free/discounted meals. but yea it is long hours. but it will be fun. i no lots of people that have done it. im an organise freak so the idea of knowing i have something when i leave nz is perfect for me. but yea im prob only doing it for like 4-8ish months at the max then into my feild of work.

  what date does your tour start nikki?…and where are you staying before it?… i hear that along the way you meet other contiki groups and other tour groups at your hotels/contiki villages etc. so we might actually see each other along the way.
