    Day 22: London

    Day 22: London

    APRIL 25 - Clothes washing day, spend most of the morning getting that done. Then off to The Regent’s Park, which is walking distance north of where we are staying. It is a large park, used for hunting and tenant farming until the 1800’s, when it began to take its current form.

    The park contains many playgrounds (Odette played in every single one of them), ponds, athletic fields, the London Zoo, and a rose garden.

    From the summit of Primrose Hill, from which a good view of central London can be seen. It is only 64 meters in elevation, but nontheless one of the highest points in the greater London area.

    SOME NUMBER CRUNCHING:

    Using credit card statements, I was able to run the numbers on average daily cost for this segment of the trip. I was expecting to be over budget, primarily due to the unexpected increase in rental car costs (both the rental itself and the soaring price of petrol since March). I present the results here, for anyone with an interest in what it cost us to see what we have in the last 23 days.

    Projected daily budget from pre-trip planning = $300/day

    Final average as calculated for April 3-25 = $295/day

    This was a bit surprising. The breakdown was roughly 35% lodging, 40% transport-related, and 25% food and entry fees.
