Numbers & Stuff

So, we are slowly re-adapting to life in the city with sidewalks, street lights, manicured lawns, and civilized clothing ... ugh !!

For those of you who are numbers-crunchers and/or planning your own trip to the Rock, here are the stats for this trip:

Time away - 23 days
Total spent - 2,993.98
Average cost per day - 130.17

Total Misc - 581.23
Total Accommodations (Camping Fees) - 622.26
Total Groceries - 487.35
Total Eating Out (4 meals only) - 152.11
Total Tolls - 21.30

Total Gas - 1,129.73
Litres Gas Used - 990.11
Total Kilometres Driven - 6,628

We ate out very little, always packing sandwiches/picnic lunch before we headed out for the day, and cooking supper when we arrived at a campsite. We estimate that by doing so, we saved about $90 per day, which would have added up to about $2,070 over the course of the trip.

There were about 5 nights where we didn't have to pay camping fees while we were at Arnie or Dieter's places.

A few factors which made this trip a little more pricey than expected were: 1) prices of everything in Newfoundland, and 2) price of gas in Canada compared to our usual trips in the USA. In Newfoundland the price of gas was around $1.29 per litre. At the moment the price in the US is around $2.10 per gallon.

Nevertheless it was totally worth every penny and I heartily recommend this trip to Newfoundland to anyone! Just do it !
