Agree 100% thats why I never understand why people do those contiki tours...you spend 1 night everywhere you go which is inevitabley spent drunk as a skunk, then the next day you are on a bus going to your next town/city to do it all again. I am always amazed talking to people who did one of the tours only seem to have met Australians/Kiwis.....If thats what your after goto Bondi its a lot cheaper than going to the other side of the world
