haha no way you guys know about timbertown. our house is actually over the road from it. you must be like the first people that have heard of it! .lol the big bull is still standing but it closed down ages ago.
I’m only doing the GIH tour, I’ve already seen a fair bit of the world. Love travelling. B sounds like youre going to have such an awesome trip!
Cool I think we fly out of syd at some ridicously early hour on the 4th and arrive in Athens the night before the tour starts. I’ve heard that the hotel in Athens is in a heaps dodgy area especially at night. Have you heard that? For a dodgy area the hotel looks pretty good.- 0 people like this

well this will be our first contiki tour.I think everyone has to do a contiki tour once in their life lol. Ive Been to italy twice already went back last september and heading back again on our first tour..luv italy! but really looking forward to the greek islands been wanting to go there for awhile!
ahah yeh we fly out at lovely 6am. thats what makes our flight so cheap lol
I haven’t actaully looked up the hotels yet in athens but i think there is a few dodgy areas there but i’ll take my pepper spray just in case lol
yeh big bull was the best I was so sad when it closed down and farmer john left hehe- 0 people like this

yeh i dont mind the 6am flight just means we can get out of here sooner haha..
yeh ive been told its a dodgy area at night but apparently the metro is only a couple hundred meters away..however im not to concerned considering theres a bar on the top floor and for 2 weeks straight we r probably gonna be partying pretty hard lol- 0 people like this
