2 Feb 2012 Chaloo asked
Hey all,
I'm Chloe and I am booked on the London to Athens tour leaving on June 28. The Contiki website says the tour is full so I thought if anyone else is going it would be cool to meet here before and chat :)
Im looking forward to hearing from you :)

Well Georgia and Ryan it seems you are both doing the Island hop, pretty sure I should have added this to my agenda, Ryan, where in Aus are you from? And Georgia, where are you from?
OMG I’m like a kid in a sweet shop! So excited right now! Haha

Saving? Lack of!! How much are you guys planning on taking?
You should come on on the Island hop, just buy the ferry tickets and squat the nights in my room lol. It could be possible :)
Not long at all – also keen to get there and finally meet everyone!!!

Haha I dont know how much I’m taking, they recommend between $50-$100 per day so thats max $2500ish for me. Ill probably bring about $4000. Also are you all doing the additional extras? I am

Yeah I want to do the additional extras – do we just pay for that over there or is it something we pay for now ? I wasn’t sure.

As far as I know Georgia we pay for them during the first couple of days, so save extra pennies for that.

Another Chloe from Australia on this tour?! Wicked!
Today is my birthday and I am so excited for this contiki! So many people from Australia! Unfortunately, I won’t be doing the greek island hopping…but I might change my mind and go to the islands anyway. I’m from Perth, Western Australia (for the non-aussies) and I have been planning this trip for AGES! Got all my money saved up and just waiting for the 3 months to end so I can go. I am going solo on this trip and I’ll be arriving in London on the 24th June and staying in a hostel mainly cos I wanna see and do some shopping in London. Can’t wait to meet everyone! Woo!!- 0 people like this

Thanks! It was an awkward birthday because my friend left for Japan that day so all my friends forgot about me but I’m totally partying tonight at Carnegies in Perth. Wednesday night is student night after all!
Lucky you for having someone to stay with. I have to find a cheap hostel for a few days until the tour begins. Is this your first contiki tour? If it is, what should I expect? And any advice I need on packing, money and health?- 1 person likes this
