thats exactly how im doing it!!! THATS THE ADRENALINE RUSH!!! the fear is the exciting part!!! plus it gives you tonnz of opportunitys... i mean... your over the other side of the world... why be with ozies and kiwis??? ya can do that in australia/nz... catch my drift??? one of my reasons is to get out of my comfort zone and live a new life and be a new person (in a way) and learn what life is about! im learning Italian (properly now) and did a course (level 1) in German.... so im wanting to take both of them alot further and learn them properly to speak fluently! now thats a goal n a half!!! and who knows what elce might come up?

but what ever floats ya boat right?

well since i couldnt be bothered going through the brochures in time im not doing the tour hehe. going to london as a starting point in july then wherever the hell i feel like going for 10 days before meeting the rest of the family in rome, then a week in london before coming home. hopefully there is something good on i can go to!

rubbish, who told you that?

I felt safer on a train going from amsterdam to berlin for example then i do on melbournes public transport

I dont know about that jolz, i saw some scary mofos on the amsterdam metro at 2 in the morning lol

there is a huge difference in trains that travel locally and the ways that go internationally....

and why would you be travelling at 2am in the morning anyway (i know backpackers try to save 5 euro's here and there but you just have to have common sense when travelling)

hahah i dont think it was the 5 euro i was saving that made me catch the metro, i think it was more the fact no cab driver wanted us in his cab lol

haha then wtf are you comparing melbourne transport to international transport? Im comparing a local system to another local system

erratik said the trains are dangerous, im saying the international ones are not, i also said i felt safer on those trains than i do on local melbourne ones

The Contiki tours are good but you can save lots of money and be more free if you just wing it.

Actually the reason I went on contiki was bcoz I knew all my costs upfront and most of the trip was planned, including breakfast and (some) dinners. It was too much of a headache trying to work out our own itinerary, book accom, and the rest of it and the costs were ballooning out of control.

So it really depends on whether you have someone to crash with, a local to show you round, etc. That's the best way to save money, imo.

Jolz i said countries where peepz don't speak English. Amsterdam to Berlin isn't what I was referring to. More like travelling through Russia (hey i saw those racism videos where peepz were getting bashed on trains by white supremists!). Also travelling overnight is a good way to not waste a day, so a 2am train ride is not uncommon. Of course if you or Paulie are going to be there then you can protect me so I would feel safe

each to their own when it comes to travel really, ive already stated why i hate the tours in this thread somehwere. Anf you realize its hard to get into russia without being sponsored dont you?

Ok then, i was on a train from brno to warsaw overnight and nothing happened, you can always lock yourself in a cabin you know and i do realize people get overnight trains to sleep on and save time/money but its all commonsense if you are on such a tight schedule thats your own problem to deal with

well i gotta find my mail order bride somehow

Contikis are a workout. If your travelling for the first time or your by yourself i would recommend. I wouldnt do a contiki second time round but i dont regret doing it in the first place, altho contiki isnt my idea of a relaxing holiday. 2 hours sleep 8 hour bus rides, take its toll lol

ha ha ha Jolz keep you safe? she would just scream at anyone coming close LOL wogz rule at screaming lol cos its the normal way to speak in the house and with family LOL!!!

Might sound stupid but i think if you have accomodation booked the place you stay at will vouch for your sponsorship....but on the other hand i may be retarded in thinking that

softcock.

trust me, contiki is awesome. you'll meet some ripper folks from all over the world. yes everything is regimental and planned but thats why it was perfect for a lazy-arse such as myself. unless you're a socially awkward doofus like phil then its well worth it!

zomg

heh at least *someone* is excited

I was thinking of flying into London and then finding a budget airline to get to Split and maybe visit Denmark and Sweden but apparently the baggage maximum is 15kg and they charge insane amounts per kilo over. So...I think I might just fly direct to Split, drop off the luggage I don't need and then get some budget airlines to London and anywhere else. Sound better?

Who's flown around EU with the budget airlines? Is it easy to get tickets when you get there or should I try and snare some before I go.

Looking to reserve my ticket by the end of the week. Fucking excited already

i flew ryan air quite a bit out of london, fares are shit easy to get and its true they only allow certain luggage on board and its not included in your ticket, i remember getting a flight from london to glasgow for 80pence or something crazy like that. You have to add on taxes and also was around 9pounds for your luggage
still was heaps cheaper than getting the train/bus there

Had no problems with the airline :P
