Question

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 :)

    Hi there Chloe,
    I’m Claire from South Africa! Will also be on this Contiki tour. So far I have also met another Chloe from Australia, who will be on our tour as well! Im travelling with two friends, Charne and Alli. Are you travelling alone?

    Hi Claire! Thats so cool! I am originally from South Africa! Haha Are you sure there is another Chloe from Aus on the tour and that its not me? Haha Im pretty active online! lol I am not travelling alone, my best friend, Ashleigh is meeting me there, she lives in JHB! So it looks like there will be a couple of Saffas on the trip! :) When do you arrive in London?

    Hey Chloe,
    That is awesome! I’ m pretty sure its not you, she lives in Perth and is travelling alone. Actually starting the tour in Paris, (apparently you can do that) and we will be arriving on the 27th of June. When do you arrive in London??

    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

    Ok so I did a little stalk of both of you and you are both Aussies! Love it, also I took the liberty of following you :)

    YAY – So glad i’ve finally found some other people doing this tour.
    Im from Newcastle, what about you? What are your plans once your tour is finished in Athens?

    I live in Brisbane. Once the tour is over I am staying an extra day in Athens. So I leave on the 19th in the afternoon.

    Ah man! I really wish I could stay longer for the Greek island hopper! Would be amazing! I must say that its not long now, and I am keen to meet you all!

  • 13 Mar 2012 Chaloo said

    Chaloo

    Im also wishing I could do the island hop! :( but I have no doubt it will be amazing! nearly 3 months to go. How is the saving going?

  • 13 Mar 2012 Georgia_.x said

    Georgia_.x

    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!!!

  • 13 Mar 2012 Chaloo said

    Chaloo

    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

  • 13 Mar 2012 Georgia_.x said

    Georgia_.x

    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!!

    oh and happy birthday for yesterday chloe, hope it was a good one

    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?
