I love books so much.<br />I was too tired to laze in the bathtub :-( <br />I just had quick showers and flopped into bed with the TV going and a small paper craft project I had wanted to try out.Frugal Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720230592936575192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-22432238271962669392010-11-12T07:51:00.701-08:002010-11-12T07:51:00.701-08:00Beautiful scenery.

I buy magazines at a store here called Half priced books. You can get issues that are only a month of two old for 50 cents. Hope you enjoyed your bath! I don't know what I would do without my bathtub, it is my sanctuary. :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449610651801811537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-34366593606217094902010-11-12T01:08:19.803-08:002010-11-12T01:08:19.803-08:00Hi Pamela,

The ink on the label is Soy Ink and Bottles made of biodegradable and compostable materials. I used only 1 bath towel and kept the room clean preventing extra chemical cleaning. Kakadu needs to be protected.<br /><br />Hi Carol, <br />I hope to put up a few more photos of the region in the coming week.<br /><br />Hi Frugal Life UK, <br />For personal travel I use my networks, CouchSurfing, WWOOFing and cheap backpackers/hostels. However for work we stay in motels/hotels or a classroom floor with a swag if they are not available. I like staying on classroom floors, I read all the kids books and get an extra allowance of $80 per night!!!Frugal Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720230592936575192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-5925994455513825362010-11-11T14:47:49.832-08:002010-11-11T14:47:49.832-08:00Amazing scenery, I usually network and stay with p...Amazing scenery, I usually network and stay with people I know, or with people who know people I know, I usually take food as payment (homemade/home grown) From April to the end of September I will stay in our tent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555001676886354389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-50562508969517948462010-11-11T14:41:29.716-08:002010-11-11T14:41:29.716-08:00Hi there,i really enjoyed your photo's,thank&#...Hi there,i really enjoyed your photo's,thank's for sharing,it's the first time i have seen your post,regard's Carol from Adelaidecarol hardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826714083313865582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6676164108751794518.post-55969243764938102122010-11-11T13:54:55.897-08:002010-11-11T13:54:55.897-08:00Hello
I'm enjoying your blog, lots of interest...Hello<br />I'm enjoying your blog, lots of interesting ideas. What a great trip and how good are you - planning ahead to stay on the frugal path! Sorry you didn't get to luxuriate in the bath, that's a shame. Our frugality on trips is more due to our lifestyle as we're vegan so take all our own food and drinks with us, much cheaper than motorway service stations coffee and chips! However we then loose out as motel freebie toiletries are rarely cruelty-free and nowadays vegan versions are usually several times more expensive than high-street brands!<br />Great photo's too - glad you got across the river!<br /><br />pamela x magicalmeadows.blogspot.compamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142259491219508934noreply@blogger.com
