North America – July 3rd to August 3rd, 2018
Our second month has been quite different to the first. We covered nine US states but had some good down time in Ohio to make the pace less hectic. Our average km/day reflected this being 226km for July compared to the 263km for June. Again our transport was primarily in our sedan, with the next most common modes being kayak and rollercoaster!
This month our expenses were higher at an average of $205/day, but this was mainly due to vehicle repairs and an internal flight ticket purchase. Take those outliers out of the equation and it was $133/day.
We saw a handful of things that we had on a defined list, but many other places were a surprise to find or an opportunity taken. This was refreshing and fun.
