EVERYTHING

SOPHIA LOREN
Paris picnic
First thought: OMG Im in Paris. Second

thought: Im hungry. Stack up on fresh
baguettes, cheese and pats as we kick things
off with a gourmet picnic under the Eiffel
Tower. This is the bread and butter of French
cuisine, which means a lot since they pretty
much invented cooking.
Chomp down some macarons or Instagram
yourself eating your first escargot.
You have arrived.
Cold war cuisine

Its all about the meat and potatoes. And lots
of cheese. Tempered by years of communist
rule, Eastern European cuisine is known for
simple, yet hearty comfort food and
robust flavours.
Start with classics like goulash and
borscht; then dig a bit deeper and youll
find scrumptious street food and plenty of
gastronomical glasnost. Your must-do foodie
list includes street stall Lngos in Hungary,
stuffing yourself on pierogis (Polands response
to gyoza) and the best thing since sliced bread:
the Smaen Sr fried cheese sandwich. Czech
it out.
Fiestas & siestas

Eat, sleep, repeat. Food coma is a Spanish
institution and no one will sneer at you for
taking a well-deserved nap after lunch.
Lick off plates of tapas and Iberian ham in
Madrid or hit up Barcelona for epic stacks of
freshly caught seafood. If you want to blend
in, swap your jug of sangria for a red wine
and coke, the best unlikely drink mix to hit the
streets since avocado coffee (yep, its a thing).
Nom nom nom.
Stars & forks

This is probably the best lunch you will
ever have. The little French township Grasse is
synonymous with perfume, lavender fields and
rolling hills. Its also the birthplace of Jacques
Chibois brainchild La Bastide Saint-Antoine, a
Michelin two-star rated restaurant famous for
its unique blend of flavour and fragrance.
Prepare for local specialties like olives, truffles
and Mediterranean seafood cooked up with a

place. In fact, Italians are still wondering about who this Alfredo
guy is and why tourists are asking about him.
Hungry? Check out our European Taste Trail
trip on p. 121.
Think regional and go to Tuscany to find out what tomatoes really

taste like, discover the pizza and pastry scene of Rome and hit up
Venice for a primer in risottos, scallops, scampi and cuttlefish.
The old rules still apply: avoid English menus, menus with pictures
and long menus. Delizioso!

DAVID TRIP LEADER
Most of us know David as Dragon
after an unfortunate incident with a
hot currywurst gave him a nosebleed
in Germany. Hes also a fountain of
knowledge of all things Europe (not
related to sausage).
INSIDE TIP:
Theres a cool miniature museum tucked
away in the castle district of Prague
exhibiting things like a tiny train sculpted on
top of a human hair and a 3.2 mm replica of
the Eiffel Tower!
MARTINA TRIP LEADER

Martina is a former Swedish florist
turned full-time globetrotter with a
resum including everything from
climbing Kilimanjaro to 12 years
experience shooting air guns.
INSIDE TIP:
The best burgers in Berlin can be found in
a converted, green public toilet box. Walk
along the East Side Gallery, cross the bridge
and follow the railway and youre there.

Emily has been cooking up a storm on
the road for three years. She doesnt
like to blow her own trumpet, but we
know for a fact that her Tiramisu has
sent many young travellers to cloud
nine and back.
INSIDE TIP:
Florentine steak like most Italian dishes
should be written in all caps, and nothing
beats sipping on an espresso with the old
boys in any city in Italy.

for the island of Mljet. Your responsibilities include
swimming, improving the tan and counting shades

DAY 5 Hvar to Korula. Mixing swords and ladders

not your average board game! Let the Korula
locals show off their cutting edge version of the

DAY 2 Mljet to Makarska. If Kasparov made it

his summer home, it probably qualifies as a good
move. Welcome to the glitz, sunshine and high
rolling antics of the Croatian Riviera. Laze around on
pebbled beaches then wander over to Buba for a
night cap. (B,L)
DAY 6 Korula to Trstenik. Sign up to be a nun in

the local monastery or grab a glass of Dinga wine
both are local traditions so the choice is yours.
Nuns really dig this place and the wine could have
something to do with it. (B,L)

adventure sport capital of Croatia. Get your thrill on
before we head off to Split to do what the Romans
did. Dont worry, you wont be fighting lions. (B,L)

TOMATINA
Everyone loves a good food fight. Join 20,000
people to dispose 40 metric tonnes of councilfunded tomatoes in the worlds biggest
vegetable skirmish. Youll not only get your daily
dose of vegetables, youll also have a perfectly

the world.
FESTIVALS
CALENDAR
OKTOBERFEST
Officially the worlds biggest party,
Oktoberfest draws a crowd of seven
SEP- OCT
million people every year to celebrate

the three best things to come out of
Germany: beer, bratwurst and pretzels.
The dress code is Bavarian classic,
lederhosen are optional and singing,
hugging and dancing on tables is
encouraged. Prost!
VENICE CARNIVAL
If you like the idea of baroque
dress-ups and looking like the Phantom
of the Opera, Venice is the place to be.
FEB
Celebrate the approach of spring in

true Cinderella fashion during an
extravagant week of music, balls
and theatre. We expect it could be
completely completely wonderful.
LAS FALLAS
Watch the hometown of paella go up in
smoke during one of the wildest street
festivals on the European calendar.
MAR
Expect lots of fireworks, giant satirical

papier-mch sculptures and fiery
cooking displays erupting in an explosion
of flames and fireworks. This is the
worlds pyrotechnic capital so earplugs
are recommended for sensitive listeners
and self-appointed fun police.
CHRISTMAS &
NEW YEARS
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Watch
Europes cobblestoned streets turn
DEC
into a walking fairytale of Christmas

markets, mulled wine and snow-capped
rooftops. Then wake up from your festive
food coma, ring in the new year and
dance the night away in Amsterdam or
Berlin. Romantic getaway or wolf pack

your own way to your accommodation for a date

Sounds like something out of Disney and looks like
something from space. Lunar landscape. Natural
geothermal pools. The chance to explore and swim.
In winter. Outside. Iceland is awesome.
If life couldnt (or shouldnt) get any better than
that, wait til tonight. Were off chasing the Northern
Lights. Visibility cant be guaranteed but if you nail
that shot you wont need to take another photo
again. Ever. (B)
DAY 3 Reykjavik. Swap natural wonders for city
life with a free day in ber-cool Reykjavik. Check
out the views from Hallgrmskirkja then hit up the
half-submerged City Hall and grab a coffee with half
your body under the waterline. Surreal.
If you're a nature-lover, don't miss the Golden Circle
for 300km of the very best Icelandic landscapes.
Also, the UNESCO Heritage Site Thingvellir National
Park hosts the countrys first Parliament as well as
Geysir (you got that one, right?) and Gullfoss Falls.
Come nightfall, there are foodie haunts abound. Local
delicacies like smoked sheep head or rotten shark = a
little too much for most. But were up for a burger and
a beer with the locals in Vitastigur. Or for something
even more local, head to the other end of the lake
for great food and great views. Worth the trip. Be
warned, the best nightlife starts late. Like midnight.

be with those operators and will be subject to their respective booking
conditions. Please read their booking conditions on our website www.
topdecktravel.co.uk before You book, or ask for a copy.
All Topdeck trips are sold subject to the following conditions (these
Conditions).
1. (a) Please note that our trips are designed for young people between
the ages of 18 to 39 years. We may in special circumstances approve
persons outside this range. If You are 17 years of age and wish to book
on one of our trips, please contact us before making a booking as we
will require the written consent of your parent or guardian. We reserve
the sole right to decline a booking request from You should we think
our trips are not suited to You.
(b) A contract between You and us will exist as soon as we issue an
invoice in response to your request for a booking and the deposit has
been paid to your travel agent or us.
BOOKING YOUR TRIP
2. Bookings can be made either through your local travel agent or with
us direct and must be secured with a deposit of 60 per person paid
at the time of booking. This deposit is non-refundable unless we cancel
your trip. If You are making a booking within 42 days of departure,
then full payment is required PROVIDED HOWEVER that if the trip
comprises a special offer we may require full payment including any pre
and post accommodation and sundry service charges to be paid at the
time specified in the offer. Your booking is taken to be confirmed, and
accepted when we issue an invoice. If your booking is made through a
travel agent, we will address all correspondence to that travel agent. All
monies paid by You to the travel agent will be held by them on behalf
of Topdeck. If You arrange your trip direct with us, all correspondence
and communications will be sent to your address in our booking file
unless You specify otherwise. Balance of all payments is required at
least 42 days prior to your trip departure date. If You do not pay within
this period we may deem your booking cancelled and your deposit
forfeited.
3. Alterations or cancellations by You after your booking has been
accepted will be effected subject to the provisions of clauses 5, 6 and 7
of these Conditions.
4. Prices quoted in our brochures are calculated on costs and exchange
rates at 05 August 2014. These prices may increase or decrease and
we reserve the sole right to alter prices and other particulars contained
in our brochures and on our website. Price changes in trips featured in
subsequent brochure versions will supersede the prices in this brochure.
(The version date is indicated on the back cover of this brochure).
Before You make a booking we will provide You with details of the
current price of your chosen trip This will also be displayed on the
website. Once You have accepted this price and your booking has been
confirmed in accordance with clause 2 that price will remain fixed and
will not be subject to surcharges.
5. You must clearly state all your requirements at the time of booking.
Please note that any dietary requirements will be a request only. We
cannot guarantee special dietary requirements nor will we assume any
responsibility or liability if your special requirements cannot be fulfilled.
If You want to change any aspect of your booking including but not
limited to a change to a trip of shorter duration or different departure
date You must notify us as soon as possible in writing. We will do our
best to accommodate your requested changes but You will be required
to pay an amendment fee of 25 per person per change. If a request is
made less than 42 days before departure, normal cancellation fees will
apply in accordance with clause 7 unless the transfer or change is to an
earlier departure of the same trip. In the event of a request for a change
to be made a new invoice will be issued by Topdeck and cancellation
charges/amendment fees will be shown. All amendment fees are
payable within 7 days of the issue of a new invoice or on the date of
departure, whichever is the sooner.
6. If You are prevented from traveling as a result of illness, the death of
an immediate family member, jury service, or other reason beyond your
control which we consider significant, we will agree to your booking
being transferred to another person who satisfies all the conditions
applicable to the trip, subject to You and the other person accepting
liability for full payment of the trip cost and any additional costs arising
from the transfer PROVIDED THAT we must be given at least 21 days
written notice of the proposed change.

must be remembered that our trips are planned up to eighteen months
in advance. We therefore reserve the sole right, at our discretion, to
modify or cancel any trip, accommodation or arrangement at any
time. We will notify You as soon as possible of any changes and they

number of participants for certain trips and in the event that there are
insufficient bookings recorded by not later than 42 days before the
scheduled departure date we will be entitled to cancel the scheduled
trip, whereupon all monies paid by You for your Topdeck trip shall
be refunded but no further compensation will be paid and You and
Topdeck hereby agree to mutually release each other from any further
obligations which would have been enforceable had the trip not been
cancelled.
12. We reserve the right to alter or substitute the type or size of
vehicle, or style of transport mentioned in the brochure, depending
on the number of passengers carried, which can vary from trip to trip.
Normally the maximum group size is 48 passengers. Please also note
there are strict laws in Europe governing Drivers driving hours and this
may necessitate utilizing public transport in some cities.
OUR LIABILITY TO YOU
13. Save where the provisions of Force Majeure apply, in the event
that the trip does not reasonably comply with the description in the
brochure, Topdeck may compensate You to a maximum value equal
to twice the price of the trip but excluding insurance premiums and
amendment fees AND Topdeck will only be liable to pay the maximum
amount of compensation where there has been a total failure of
consideration for your payment. Where the failure to provide such
trip is not caused by any fault of Topdeck, its agents or suppliers or is
caused by or contributed to by You, Topdeck will not be liable to pay
any compensation.
14. If You are killed, injured or become ill during or as a result of,
carriage by ship, train or coach forming part of the trip in circumstances
where such death, injury or illness is not caused by or contributed to by
You our liability to pay damages and/or the amount of compensation
we will be liable to pay is limited in accordance with the liability of a
carrier under any international Convention applicable to such events,
including, but not limited to:
In respect of carriage by sea: the Athens Convention 1974;
In respect of carriage by rail, the Berne Convention 1961; and,
In respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973.
15. The terms of these Conventions are incorporated into and form
part of our contract with You. You should know that the carrier will
rely upon its conditions of carriage which may limit or remove the
carriers liability to You and limit compensation under any international
Conventions.
16. In the event that Topdeck (or its insurers) make any payment to You
for death, personal injury or illness, You must give us or our insurers
all and any rights You may have to take action against the party
responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness and You
must co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of any payment we
may make from such party.
17. Your booking is accepted on the understanding that You appreciate
the possible risks inherent in adventure travel and that You undertake
the trips featured in this brochure of your own volition. Every effort
will be made to operate all trips featured in this brochure but because
of the number of countries visited on trips there may be a necessity
to vary the itinerary from that stated in the brochure, and delays may
occur for a variety of reasons beyond our control. The need for a
flexible attitude to this type of travel is stressed in our publication. The
final decision on the itinerary and the content of the trip will be taken
by the Trip Leader, as appointed by us in the interest of the group as a
whole. Please note that due to Public holidays some sights or activities
may not be available on a particular trip.
18. No refund will be made for services made available by Topdeck
but which for whatever reason are not used by You once the trip has
departed.
OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES AND EXCURSIONS
19. Topdeck and/or its associated staff partners and suppliers makes
no warranties or representations in relation to implied or explicit
suggestion and/or recommendation for services, activities and events
not highlighted as included in the related trip(s). Information not
explicitly noted as included is provided 'as is"' and intended to be
general in nature so may not be suitable for your particular needs. It is
essential that you ensure that any/all risk associated with getting to/
from, the participation in or visitation of any area, activity, event or
venue is in-line with your expectations and suitably covered under your
travel insurance

optional excursions and activities. Topdeck does not own, operate
or control any of the companies or individuals which provide the
optional activities or excursions. Some of the optional activities and
excursions, such as canyoning are inherently risky. If You want to take
part in such optional activities or excursions You must be fit enough
to do so and must follow all reasonable instructions. The standards
of health and safety which will be adopted by the company or the
individual providing the optional activity or excursion will be those of
the country where the optional activity or excursion takes place. Please
note that these standards may not be the same as You would find
in the UK, or in Your home country. If You wish to book any optional
excursion or activity, You may do so subject to the operators terms
and conditions. Your contract will be with the operator of the activity or
excursion and will be governed by local law. Topdeck acts only as their
agent. Topdecks Trip Leader will have further details and additional
information can be found on our website. Topdeck accepts no liability
for any act or omission of any operator, its employees, agents or subcontractors.

from war or terrorist activities threatened or actual, civil unrest,
industrial action threatened or actual, weather conditions, fire, flood,

any other event outside our control which either delays or extends or
reduces the trip, or compels a change in the trip arrangements after
departure.

completing the trip for any reason, nor will we refund You any part of
your trip cost. In all cases we will notify You of the reasons why we have
taken this action. We will have no obligation to arrange for your return
to the point of the trip departure where your condition manifests itself
after the trip departure. Further, if the trip involves travel by air, the
captain of your aircraft can refuse to allow You to fly on the aircraft if he
believes that You could be dangerous or disruptive to other passengers
on the flight.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
24. Please ensure You carefully read your invoice, tickets and all other
documents we send to You as soon as You receive them, and contact
your travel agent, or us immediately if any information appears to be
incorrect. We will not accept any liability if You fail to notify us of any
inaccuracy in any document within 14 days of us sending them to You
or your agent. While we will do our best to rectify any changes made
outside this time, it is your responsibility to meet any additional costs
which may be involved, except in the case of an error made by Topdeck
and where there is reasonable justification for You not contacting us
within the specified time. You are responsible for ensuring that all
necessary travel documents including, but not limited to, passports,
visas and vaccination certificates are valid and subsisting. We strongly
recommend that You verify current documentation requirements and
all other relevant protocols and procedures associated with your trip

cancellation, medical and repatriation expenses, personal injury and
accident, death and loss of personal baggage and money and personal
liability insurance. Evidence of such insurances must be produced to
Topdeck on request and normally on day one of your trip. Insurance
cover offered by credit card companies or reciprocal medical cover
agreements are often not comprehensive.
26. You hereby indemnify us against all third-party actions taken
against us for loss or damage caused by You or arising from your
participation on the trip.
27. In the event of You making a claim against Topdeck arising out
of the trip, You hereby assign to us, any rights to take action against
any third party supplier or any other person or party that Topdeck
reasonably considers to be a party to the action and to co-operate
fully with Topdeck should Topdeck or its insurers wish to enforce those
rights which have been assigned to Topdeck.
28. In the event that You make a claim against us which is covered
by your insurance policy, You agree to pursue the claim through your
insurer either in addition to, or in substitution for, your claim against us
(if any). We agree to indemnify You in respect of reasonable expenses
incurred in successfully pursuing such a claim and acknowledge that
any settlement made by the insurer shall not prejudice your rights
against us.
29. In the event of You not making a claim before 5 working days of the
maximum length of time permitted by your policy, You must assign,
by letter sent by courier delivery to Topdeck not less than 5 working
days prior to the said specified time, the benefit of the policy and give
immediate notice of such an assignment to your insurer.
COMPLAINTS
30. In the event of any dissatisfaction with the accommodation or any
other service provided by Topdeck, You must report it immediately to
the Trip Leader so that action can be taken to remedy the problem.
Failure to notify the Trip Leader of any problem immediately may
prejudice Topdeck and may result in your ability to claim compensation
from us being extinguished or reduced. Any complaint made to
Topdeck following the conclusion of the trip should be made in writing
within 28 days of completion of the trip. In the event that You do not
notify us in writing within 28 days, Topdecks ability to investigate the
complaint may be prejudiced and may extinguish your claim. If you
have a dispute with the Company which we cannot resolve, You may
call upon the ABTA low cost Arbitration Scheme (details on request)
which is administered independently by the Institute of Independent
Arbitrators. This scheme does not apply to claims over 5000 per
person or 25,000 per booking, nor does it apply to claims solely in
respect of physical injuries, illness, or their consequences.

this booking, your consent to this information being passed on to the
relevant persons is deemed to be given unless You object and advise
Topdeck of your objection at the time of booking. The information may
also be provided to public authorities such as Customs or Immigration

any sensitive information that You give to us such as details of any
disabilities or dietary/religious requirements.

result of a contravention of any law or regulation of any of the countries
visited while on the trip.
36. No servant, agent, employee or representative of the Company has

any right to alter, vary or waive any of these Conditions, nor undertake
any activity likely to lead to increased liability whatsoever on behalf

person.
9. A material modification is one which has a serious effect on your trip

and includes a change of departure date, departure point or airport,
or change of departure time of more than twelve hours, which would
cause substantial inconvenience to You. We do not consider a change
of accommodation, or transport style a material change.
HEALTH AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS

trip, we ask that You inform us in writing at the time of booking the
trip of any special arrangements required by You so that we are able
to advise as to the suitability of those arrangements. If we reasonably

needs, we reserve the right to decline the booking or ask for You to be
accompanied by a person who is able to provide full assistance to You
throughout your trip.

accordance with clause 21 You will receive compensation as stated in
the scale below.
YOUR LIABILITY TO US
