EuroTrip Cost

I got a lot of enquiries from my friends about my EuroTrip; the cost, the itinerary, where to go, where to sleep etc. So I'm gonna share it here for your reference. 

Here's how much I spent for my 3 weeks-trip. The cost could be reduced if I booked earlier or bought the Spain Rail Pass but yeah.. that's the price I had to pay for being so impromptu.

Exchange rate GBP 1 ~ RM 5.47

Exchange rate EUR 1 ~ RM 4.26  (bloodyhell I checked the rate has gone down to 3.9 today T_T)

This does not include my shopping escapades and souvenirs.. don't want to list them here cos the damage was too big ;p

But generally a fridge magnet cost about EUR 2 in Spain, you can get it cheaper about EUR 1.80 if you walk away from the main tourist sites. In London the fridge magnet cost about GBP10 for 6 pieces.
