some ideas on our budget

Balance sheet of 31 days on roads and tracks (+10 days near LA by our friends):

All amounts are in euros (€), whatever the currency of purchase.

    whose plane: 1360 (for 2)
    and car: 1200
    and gas: 420
    and troubleshooting: 60

Books, guides, computer cards (Topoguides National Geographic): 235

Accommodation: 550

    including camping: 130
    and hotel: 330
    and cottage: 90

Food (and restaurants): 750

    Paria Outpost including: 305

Souvenirs Gifts (majority of postcards and posters): 320

Clothing (shorts, hats, shoes, backpacks, jackets with pockets, ...): 394

Camping equipment: 204

    whose electric cooler: 75
    and duvets, mattresses: 76

We managed to sell on the spot (thanks to JP) our cooler (35)

Total: 6478 €

In this total, we have not added neither the laptop nor the camcorder, purchased for this trip, but well used elsewhere and for other trips.
