yeah, my first Contiki ‘stephyrenny’ lol (cute)… well, if I don’t turn up you can vouch for me. Is this your first? are you also a Contikivirgin? (that was funny in my head) ;-/
I have been to Bali before, but only for work, so I am so excited to do what I want and not to inspect any hotels. yaay noooo hotel inspections! so good. I’m staying down in Uluwatu at this secluded cliff boutique hotel. just spa and beach. my suite is dug out of the cliff! AMAZING.

Oooh that would have been fun! Christchurch has the best partying… aaah good memories. ;-) i’ll show you the place in Bali on the tour… it’s so cheap too… my friend and I are paying $60 each per night.

;-) instead of having a GAP year, you should have a few GAP year’s’ that sounds better… muuuch better

I should have done that, now I only get 4 weeks a year. :( :( damn

ooops I meant Queenstown. lol I have NO IDEA why but I always get them mixed up. sigh…

I work in travel, so yeah, i inspect hotels and all that. which is a great job, cause you see some amazing places, but when you are up to your fifth hotel and the sun is shining and the beach is calling, it’s a little depressing… but then again it beats the desk (which is where i’m sitting now :() ……… again, damn. lol

Which hotel did you work at?

I’m thinking of joining, If I can take work off. Is any one doing any of the Me time options though? And it would be my first time going, where does everyone meet?

hello melita :-) if you book through a travel agent they will help you book your pre accommodation (for the 10th), which is where we will meet the tour leader and group the next day when the tour begins :-) and I am only going to do one or two of the optional activities.

@Anique @kj83 I am leaving from Melbourne too on the 11th, did you want to meet at check-in and sit with each other? :)

Also we can all share a Taxi when we get to ASP, i think that would be the quickest way to the hotel. and cheap if shared between 3! :-)

Hi everyone, anyone flying from Sydney getting in at 11:30? I wasn’t sent any info from my travel agent so I don’t even know what hotel we’re supposed to be going to!! Don’t know what I thought I’d do on arriving at ASP! See you all tomorrow!

waaah? that’s horrible! (we are not all like that)

Okay so you need to take a taxi to the ‘Alice Springs Oasis Hotel (Ibis Group)’ we are meant to meet there at 12pm. The taxi should only take about 15mins, but you need to get you bags so I wouldn’t waste any time at the airport. you’ll be fine though :)

Enjoy your flight tomorrow :) see you then! xx

how was this tour? When I head to Australia in a few years to visit my friends I met on my last Contiki, I was thinking of doing this tour since none of them live in the Outback area
