Josh's Birthday

Before the trip we set a daily budget of $30/day excluding some extras like diving and windsurfing. While there are days we find ourselves over budget, typically because of transportation or steep entrance fees to tourist attractions, accomodation is something I am proud to say we have figured out. We generally arrive in new town tired and hungry after a very long bus ride. We then hit the streets with our backpacks going in and out of guesthouses to find the best deal/fit. Over the last two months we have averaged $8/night and only shared a bathroom twice! Many even have had a/c and mini fridges. During our search, we have come across very nice hotels for under $75 and it has been difficult not to be tempted. Our answer: October 20th. The day where we could stay in a fancy hotel and order that glass of wine that cost twice as much as our usual dinner bill because we would be celebrating Josh's birthday.

The hotel staff were able to get a surprise cake made in town
Josh wanted to try crocodile and frog for his birthday dinner.
