Reply to comment by VLWphotography in Earth Veins in the East Kimberley, Western Australia. [OC] [4000 x 2662] by VLWphotography

Ah, I didnt realise the Kimberley was the whole northern area. I just thought it was the "kimberley national park" if thats even a thing haha. Pretty damn amazing country up there, not that ive been. My mum did some tour up there recently, with a helicopter taking them to a bunch of spots for picnics etc, and the tour operaters explaining all the indigenous land marks and cave paintings etc.

Reply to comment by danielleiellle in View from a restaurant in Alajuela, Costa Rica. [OC] [1920x4160] by kvn1902

I was staying at a Hostel for $10/night US inc breakfast in Alajuela. Food is a bit more expensive, like you said, if you buy import items specifically. Snickers were like $4 (in 2015), and a 5th of Jack Daniel's was nearly $80.

But (at the time), eating like a local was very cheap. Rice and beans aren't expensive. I was buying whole roasting chickens for $3 US. Bread was pricey then, too. Nuts were also shockingly cheap, as were exotic fruits. Perhaps not at the mercado in town, but roadside? Local? The Costa Ricans aren't idiots and you'll pay a tourist tax there if you stay in tourist spots.

I stayed in Costa Rics for 3 months, my entire length allowable, and I spent $2000 US including airfare, passport fees, and I lived luxurious like smoking weed (VERY EXPENSIVE). I stayed between hostels, and worked a bit on a farm. I guess depends how you do things.. but CR can be done cheap. There's a reason it's the new Vietnam.
