European Contrasts Sept. 9 2010
28 Apr 2010 DancingExplorer said
My sister and I have booked the European Contrasts tour leaving on Sept. 9th and we were wondering if anyone else had booked for the same date?
Also if anyone has any advice or has been on this trip before and you could tell us your experiences, that would be great!
Thanks!
Jess and Amanda

Yea its too bad. By checking out the forum it seems like a lot of Australians take this trip. They are great to party with.
I’m coming from Edmonton a day early.
Are you girls flying out of Canada early too?- 0 people like this

So does that mean you’re leaving Canada on the 9th or the 8th? We leave the 9th… get to London on the 10th at like 3 in the afternoon. Then I think the tour starts on the 11th. Oh and don’t know if I mentioned it before on here but we’re from Winnipeg.
Mizz-leha… it sounds like you’re on the tour with us then.

I’m leaving on the 8th, so I arrive on the 9th, just to get there a day early. Maybe do some exploring or meet up with people on our tour early. Winnipeg, thats wicked. Go Jets!
Mizz-leha, how old are you? Our tour will be a blast.
Does anyone plan to stay a few days extra?- 0 people like this

Do you mean the optional activities? When I was on the Australian tour we booked that stuff on the first few days of the trip. The tour leader gives a quick overview of each one and you pick from there. I’m not sure how the European coniki’s work but my guess is it will be the same.- 0 people like this

hey guys,
yippee exactly one month til we leave
<!--graemlin::)-->
as for the pre booking attractions im planning on doing it in europe, i think ill def prebook tho cos you often get to skip the lines and its cheapre but im waiting till i get there before i decide what i want to do. one thing i really want to do is go the top of the Eifle tower so ill def prebook those tickets because apparently there are huge lines.
really looking forward to meeting you all
oh yeah one more thing i have no idea what to pack as far as clothing ahhhh such a range of temperatures. good luck- 0 people like this
