Hey mate, na everything is provided except for sleeping bag, pillow, and booze lol, as far as a money belt, i kept my wallet/phone in my front pockets, so u dont get pickpockted etc, and my passport, and spare money/travel card i kept in my camera bag as i had that with me most of the time,except for when we went out drinking, money belt is probably a good idea, i have one but didnt use it =) not long now!! i fly out in16days, when do u get over there mate? we should all meet up at the london pub the night before, near the contiki basement and catch up for beers, if u havnt organised accommodation yet, look at booking the county hotel just down the road is cheaper then the royal national hotel ;)

Hey Dirk, one more question do we have to bring with our own eating utensils? I dont think so? And do you suggest a money belt for passport and all that crap?

Cool man! Sounds like a blast! The octoberfest, nice. Wish I could extend my stay, thou next time. Sleeping in tents is no big deal even if sober dude, camping is good always.

Hey mate, sweet, im doing the 21day expedition and octoberfest camping this year, yeah i did the big chill46days last year was awesome, i also back packed for 3months after, if u want a carefree, party hard time then contiki is definitely the go, all u have to do is be on the bus by 8am etc, no missing flights, trains etc, was alot more enjoyable to do and just have fun and drink with some awesome people, camping is good to coz everyone(most) sit round the campsite playing drinking games etc rather then just sitting in their rooms like the hostel version(or so ive heard) and generally everyone is helpful, friendly and easy going, most nights ur drunk so sleeping in a tent isnt that big a deal...
