This year we went to Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. despite going to 3 countries our mileage was 3115 compared to 3303 miles last year in France. Despite doing less miles our fuel costs were £671 (based on an exchange rate of 1.11 euros) with only 20 euros of that being tolls for tunnels, compared to £640 for last year of which £144 was tolls. Obviously, the huge rise in fuel costs accounts for paying more money for less milage as well as fuel in Germany and Austria being more expensive than France.
Our total spend however was about £300 less. I did think eating out and food was cheaper than France and we ate out far more than we have in the past. Perhaps because we used the Acsi card more our costs were down though I also felt that, on the whole campsites were fairy cheap.

What was the cost of living like in the Czech Republic? We went to Germany and Italy this year and found the prices pretty good in German supermarkets. I'm toying with the idea of Bavaria and the Czech Republic for next year.
Apart from eating out in the Czech Republic which was fairly cheap we had no need to buy diesel or food as we had enough for our short time there. I imagine costs wouldnt have been too bad. I loved the Czech Republic, Bavaria and Austria and would love to spend more time in each. being on the border of Bavaria and Austria was great as you could taste both. My blog should be up to date in the next day or so.
