I have purposely tried to avoid spending journal entry time/space on costs and other mundane trivia, but there might be some who find this interesting...

Here's 'Up-Til-Now' Data...thanks to my tablet which does all the work.

My tablet quit on me so...

India Onward - Bon's Figures:

India 63.5 days = 22.88/day - Visa $150 + Agents fee $110 before we left US.

Sikkim 6.5 days = 21.69/day

Nepal 15 days = 21.97/day - Visa $20 on entry.

Bangladesh 9 days = 25.30/day - Visa $160 in Dehli.

Bangkok 3 days = 34/day - Visa free on entry.

Myanmar 17 days = 26.73/day - Visa $20 in Katmandu.

Malaysia 15 days = 38/day - Visa free on entry.

Brunei 2 days = 59.50/day - Visa free on entry.

Indonesia 31 days = 29.37/day - Visa $50 in Bangkok.

Australia 38 days = 52.00/day - Visa free via internet, fee of $20 for processing!

The costs for Australia include repostitioning 2 RVs from Cairns to Alice and then Alice to Adelaide (8 days)which saved us overnight costs. Likewise, we stayed with friends/relatives in Melbourne, Werrabee, and Canberra (11 days) i.e. no overnight costs and minimal food costs due to outstanding hosting. If these options were not available our travel/trip in Australia would NOT have been possible since Bonnie estimates that our per day costs would have been over $90 AUD/ $100 US!!

None of these costs include the flights between cities/countries, which were numerous (12 so far).
