We would like to advise that for the trip departing Berlin on the 22nd June 2008, the group will be staying in Bratislava instead of Vienna due to an accommodation shortage in the city of Vienna. At this time the EURO Football championships will be help in Vienna and therefore the city has been booked out completely. While at Intrepid we do make our accommodation bookings on year in advance, we have unfortunately been denied room availability at our hotel.
Vienna and Bratislava are approximately 1 hour away from each other with very easy and convenient transport connections.
The additional cost transport to and from Vienna daily will be included.

On 07 June the Australian Government issued an updated travel warning for East Timor strongly advising against travel to East Timor because of the extremely dangerous security situation. Australians in the country are advised to leave. The Travel Warning remains at Category 5 - Do Not Travel.

On Tuesday 07 June we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of our East Timor trips scheduled to depart in 2006. All travellers will be notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another trip or obtain a full refund (land content only). We very much regret having to take this action and our thoughts and sympathies are with the people of East Timor during this troubled time.

We are confident of being able to resume our normal schedule of trips to East Timor in 2007 and hope that those travellers who have had to cancel their plans this year will travel with us to East Timor in 2007.
