Hi All,

Who do we have on this tour following the recent tour cancellations?

I was booked on the July 16 tour but that got cancelled.

    Hi Gav – we’ve been bumped to the July 18 tour now also. Looks like this one’s a goer, even though I haven’t heard from anyone else leaving on this date. We’re a couple from SA – can’t wait and not long to go now!

    Some crow eaters hey? You’ll be able to tell us how much better wine is from the Adelaide Hills compared to France! Wink<!--graemlin:;)-->

    I don’t mind if the tour is only half full as that means more room on the bus!

    When do you arrive in London? We will be there the afternoon before the tour departs. We’re doing a stint in Czech before the tour starts. Czech was booked for after the tour but the Contiki rebooking messed up that plan.

    I can’t believe how quickly the trip has snuck up!

    Wow, there’s a lot of queenslanders going to be on this tour!

    Had you guys come across many other travellers originally on the July 20 tour? I’m just curious as to how many are now on the 18th. I knew of about 9 on the July 16 tour. Half have joined the 13th and the rest of us the 18th.

    Hi all! It’s getting very close now. Happy to see there’s a few of us now leaving on this date. Looking forward to meeting you all! The hubby and I are getting in to London the Monday before the tour starts and staying at the Royal National, where the Contiki basement is. If anyone else is arriving early and wants to catch up, let me know – we’ll be doing lots of London sightseeing that week. Goodbye Australian winter – hello European summer. See you in July!!

    Hi.

    It’s isn’t long at all!! We jump on the plane to London in exactly two weeks. We’re heading to czech for 3 nights before the tour though so only have the night before the tour (17/7) in the Royal National. Hoping to squeeze in some of the sites in London that arvo though so doubt we’ll have a chance to meet before the tour.

    Really looking forward to the trip though! See you all in a fortnight!!!

    Gavin & Tara.

    My fiance and I are doing the Road to Athens tour starting on July 18th (we get married on the 17th!) We are so excited for this trip. I have been on one Contiki trip before but he has never been out of the country (We are from Houston, TX USA). We can’t wait to meet everyone and get started on this grand adventure!
