BUCKETED: Month Eleven – Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Greece and Italy (April 2nd to May 1st, 2019)
In covering five countries this month, we only took one flight. Besides taking mostly trains around Europe we took one long ferry trip from Greece to Italy – these all being free or discounted by our three month Eurail pass.
Our expenses for the month hit a low not seen since we started the trip – our daily average was USD143 per day, being $48 per person per day. This was mainly because we did not have any long flights, we paid our transport ahead of time, and we were in countries where the accommodation was cheaper than in other parts of Europe.
