I went on this trip last year and it’s amazing. The holiday inn your staying at is next to loads of bars etc so you will have a fun st. Patrick’s night don’t worry

Hello everyone. Love the fact everyone introducing themselves in advance. I am going to be at the holiday inn from the morning of the 17th but actually in sydney from the 14th. Already arranged to meet up with a few of you from here but anyone welcome to join in with us. Im thinking we might be starting the tour off with a hangover after the night on the 17th!!! I am still currently trying to cut down the HUGE pile of clothes i have to bring with me (girls this is for you…. are you taking heels? im thinking just 1 pair as a back up) i have allowed just over $100 a day, is this around what everyone else has too??? cant wait to meet everyone, 1 month and counting. cosmo xxx

I’ll probably take 1 pair of heels. I’ve been on 2 Contikis before and both times ended up wearing heels on just one of the nights. They’re nice to have as a back up though :) Whatever you think you need for clothes, cut it at least in half ;) I scale down on every trip and I still end up with loads I didnt wear and hating how heavy my bag is ;)
Is everyone going to the kick off meeting on the Saturday? My flight only gets in at 3 so I’m not sure if I’ll make it in time for that.- 0 people like this

I’m probably being really dense but where does it say where we are meeting?! Have a horrible image of me turning up at the wrong holiday inn!
Been trying to keep the clothes to a minimum but forgot I’m headed off camping in the mountains after so need my thermals, hats and gloves! Not bothering with heels but I don’t generally anyway, sticking with the flip- flops!- 0 people like this

In the back of the brochure the start of all Sydney tour departures are from holiday inn Potts point. I added
A nights accomidation before the tour through Contiki and it’s at the holiday inn Potts point. X- 0 people like this
