Last week’s instalment broke down the cost of a five-day solo trip to California which, as a result of poor planning and reckless Uber spending, turned out to be more a financial lesson in how not to go on holiday.
Mine was a destination wedding on the Isle Of Wight. The bride hails from Reading while the groom is a Californian but they got engaged on the island, hence the choice of location.
Read on to see how I spent it.
Total: £55.90
The Isle of Wight may be part of the UK but it would be easier to travel to certain parts of Europe than this time-warped land mass. Getting there involved taking an early morning tube (£5.90 return) from my South London flat to Waterloo, where I boarded a South Western train (£30 return) to Southampton. Here I met up with a few fellow wedding guests and bagged a spot in their car (£20 return) for the journey to East Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
