35 days in NZ & 90 days in OZ
We have finished NZ and I thought cost might be of interest.
total cost $168 us per day Gas was $26 nzd per day We put about 8,500 km on thr car rental was $33 nzd per day Housing was $73 nzd per day. This included 10 days in a condo, 3 days in motels and the rest of the nights in One or two bedroom flats in Holiday parks. Our other costs were 140 nzd per day. We did not cook any meals from start. We eat prepared food fron the grocery or deli or resturants. Both High dollar and cheap. I think food is about 25% higher that non-tourist New York or home town. Doug Clark Housing "Tim A" wrote in message ... I hope you are thoroughly enjoying your trip! Tim "Doug Clark" wrote in message om... Two weeks in, we are averaging sleeping for $80nz with 2 sleeping areas. Holiday parks appear to be the best options. Breakaway had the best overall car deal. $33 per day for a 1998 corolla. unlimited milage. We have used a book called "weedend food lovers guide to New Zealand" Doug Clark "tvbug" wrote in message ... "Tim A" wrote in message ... Who has this kind of time to travel? Just miss fits like me who give up perfectly good jobs. |

Doug Clark Housing Repeating your info: Gas was $26 nzd per day rental was $33 nzd per day Housing was $73 nzd per day. other costs $140 nzd per day First of all, I'm wondering just what "other costs" would add up to $NZ 140/day? This is an average,I suppose, but of what? Adding your figures, we get gas/rental/housing equals $132 nzd and 'other costs' are $140 more, or $272 total, quite a bit more than the $168 total costs that you state. Bit confusing! We're trying to estimate our trip to Australia as well, and have come up with a figure of $150 AUS/day as a minimum. Richard He mixed up his currencies. It was US$168 per day not NZ. He then went on to break it up into NZ for gas, rent, housing etc. A bit confusing to say the least. Julie |

Wow! We did NZ for two months and managed it (for two) on US$50/day. AU
was US$60/day. We were camping in both places, bought a car for both places (and sold it again...made a slight profit in NZ and a loss in AU, but overall, much cheaper than renting a car for two months in each place). Generally, we cooked our own food and stayed in holiday parks. I hope you're enjoying your trip! Donna http://www.KirkandDonna.com/ "Richard" wrote in message ...
