Approximate Budget

Ok, I've done some very basic research on costing for this trip, based on the backpackers estimates. Assuming we are in Europe for about 20 days, this is the base cost:

Average cost per day for accomodation, food and local travel is US $57.60.
Current exchange rate: R6.16/US$
$57.60 * 6.16 = R354.82 / day
Round up for safety and a little fun: R400
20 days * R400 = R8000

Return Ticket to Madrid: R4000

Total: R 12000
==============

Still need to add Visa fees, airport taxes, customs, forex fees, flights/trains in Europe.

This, obviously is the base price and does not include night clubs, tours, entrance fees, alcohol and other fun things, but everything above that should be fun money!
