I’m staying at the imperial which is apparently about 50m away from the royal national.. i could have stayed at the royal national but i wouldn’t have been able to get a room to myself.. wanted to be close by though because according to a travel agent i spoke to, the tour will probably leave at 6.30/7am!!

Hi there Marco! :) don’t worry, I’m sure there will be more people from around the world on our trip…. But contiki’s are generally full of mostly Aussies… But don’t worry, we’re a fun bunch! You’ll end up wanting to come to Australia after the trip! 180 days to go!
Where are you from??

Im sure there will be plenty ppl from all over :D so exciting!! Ahhh Australia is definitely on my wishlist after this contiki..
Im from Cape Town, South Africa. doing the tour with my girlfriend, Megan, whom im still trying to teach how to use this site :P So far it looks like we will be staying 2 nights at the royal national hotel in london before the tour starts! Btw, is your check-in option also tripping out on this site or is it still to early to check-in?

That is pretty cool! That makes 6 of us so far…. I had trouble with the check in too. It wouldnt find me or my name under the booking number… I just came back and tried it again a few weeks later and it worked.
Are you guys staying on in Europe after the tour?
