Summary numbers and stuff

We have been back at Mum & Dad's for 3 days now and all we have done is clean!! We stripped the trailer and car of everything, cleaned it all, then vacuumed and washed inside both also. Once dried, everything went back in...thanks Dad for your help.

We haven't even started washing the outside, and don't feel like there is a dent in anything yet. Throw in about 5 loads of stuff over to our house, disputes with the way the tenants left the house and dealing with a twit of a property manager, and we wish we were back on road....

At least I still subconsciously think I am on the road because I am still waving at everyone in the car and they must think I am a real weirdo. I should know by now that when back in town nobody gives a hoot about one and other, as is indicated by the stupid looks I get when I forget where I am and wave animatedly.

I have however found time to do some numbers on the trip and have shared for those interested below:-

Total days on road = 164 (not enough)

Total klms = 29,704
Average klms per day = 181
Total spend = $38,889
Average spend per day = $237
Average cost per klm = $1.31

High ticket items:-

 

Fuel = $8,179 or $49.87 per day
Tours & Souvenirs = $7,930 or $48.35 per day
Accommodation = $6,037 or $36.81 per day
Food = $5075 or $30.93 per day
Dining out = $2,229 or $13.59 per day
Food combined = $7,304 or $44.53 per day
Alcohol = $1,616 or $9.85 per day
Miscellaneous = $7,823 or $47.70

That's pretty much it in a nutshell, miscellaneous items are like washing, magazines, books, needed items from department stores, camping supplies, car and trailer servicing and repairs, coffees, ice creams etc.

We will sit down when we get back into our house and do a best and worst of post, funniest, happiest and saddest moments, & worst & favourite places.

It's hard to believe its over and we will soon be back at home and facing reality. I think the idea of coming home more than 2 weeks before we head back to work was a good one and we will need every day of it to move back in, settle down and have a holiday.....

We have also decided to keep the blog going for all of our future adventures so that the boys (& us for that matter) have something to look back at for a laugh. Thanks for tuning in, I apologise for our poor syntax, grammar and spelling at times but it was done hurriedly whilst on the road at any spare moment we could. So I don't really apologise......:)

Jase.
