After reading the logs, is a hotel break-in likely? Would you use locks on your suitcase or not?

I was wondering, if you were able to pre-purchase your tube ticket before hand or do you have to do it when you get off the plane?
I am stressing about not being able to buy a ticket to Russell Square etc. is it easy to get one?

Hi, I’m 19 year old female, Aussie going on Ultimate EU at the end of August (09).
I understand from other posts I’ve searched, that you have to pay 1 – 2 Euro to use the rest room, and some of them are of the ‘drop’/‘squat’ variety ![]()
I was just wondering though, if this is just out and about on the streets of the town that you have to pay? Or do you have to pay within resturants and clubs as well etc.
If anyone can provide any information of their own experiences, would be much appreciated ![]()

Hi all,
my girlfriend and i are looking at doing the winter wanterer starting 29 dec – 21 jan ’10 plus a week at the end to do whatever we please (most probably quick tours of london, ireland, scotland)
anyway just was after some feedback from the more experienced travellers out there.
a) Just how cold is it during this period? what exactly should we be taking, how many layers will we be wearing?
b) just after a rough guide on flight prices. what has everyone else paid? if not too personal a question. and also peoples thoughts on a two stopovers vs one stopover flight there and back. any good websites to check out?
ps from melbourne aus >london
c)money (of course) what range should we be looking at budgetting a day. we dont want to be scrooges but dont want to pay top dollar for everthing as well.
if anyone would be able to help would be greatly appreciated and any other thoughts people had would be great
cheers

Hi everyone,
The name is Grant and 20yrs old australian and very heavily considering doing the European Whirl tour in September when octoberfest is on in germany. My first question is , is the european whirl tour any good? Is there places still available for the euro whirl when octoberfest is on? Now I have never left the country and got a few questions about money exchange as well. Does all of europe go by euro’s or does some countries still go by there local currancy. Now how do u go about exchanging money to there currancy? All reply’s would be extremely helpful as all reply’s would consider towards my final decision if I am to go to europe.

Hi Im a little confused… We travelled to Thailand last year and we were allowed to take liquids on board as long as they werent over 100ml but I have heard you cant take any liquids on flights to the UK. Does this include basic toiletries and cosmetics? I dont want anything confiscated cos I heard they do thorough bag checks.
