All our accommodation is booked mostly through www.activehotels.com www.hostelworld.com www.hotels.com and www.prague-holiday.cz

Airfares are paid – ouch two people from NZ to Rome with a Stopover in Hong Kong. The price we paid was NZ$5899 (for two persons) but that also includes NZ$75 (holding insurance) plus the airfares from Paris to Dublin, Airfares from Belfast to London and our accommodation in Hong Kong. So I guess it is not too bad.

We have our Eurail Passes and car hire to pay for and some of the accommodation before we go – plus insurance. Am so excited finding it hard to work. Post again soon. We booked our travel through catherine.healey@tq3navigant.co.nz who was absolutely fabulous. Big ups to Cath.
