Female Aussie looking at seeing a little bit of this wonderful world we live in. 31 years and have had many friends that have travelled with no time limitations, but none that have had time limitations (like me). . I have never been O/s myself and I are looking at doing a 11 week trip. Have checked out Trafalgar "Ultimate" Europe break, seems thorough enough, but is it alot of money for a very long bus ride??? I really want to get the most out of this experience, would doing a couple of shorter trips be viable? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Three girlfriends and myself are also going on a contiki tour in May/June on the europeon escapades leaving london on 24th May. We are also aussies ao if you want to join us it will be fun.

Thanks so much Linda! - but

I have booked my trip now and are going in Aug/Sept/Oct. Decided to plan it so I have some time free and also do a couple of Tours. Starting off in London, then on a Tour of Scotland and Ireland. Fly to Rome from London, have 9 days "Free" then join a "Breakaway" Trafalgar Tour from Rome back up to London. From London go to Thailand and spend 18 days there, 9 days on a Tour of the North (riding elephants etc!!) and then have some free time in Bangkok before heading home.

It was so lovely for you to offer to join you & your friends. Having said that - if there is anyone out there that is travelling at this time and going to be in Rome/italy in from September the 3rd till the 12th (Join the Trafalgar Tour on the 12th) and would like to meet me (travelling alone, first time and a bit scared!!!) it would be GREAT!!

Cheers
Lisa
