Your equation is missing a key factor...the pleasure and experiences that you shared over those 20 magic days.

Aahh, he looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, what a cheeky face...I'd definitely lock the doors at this point though.
You don't get that experience everyday, worth every penny I reckon.

Sounds like a another good trip.
Currently on day 16 of 27 of a far more leisurely meander around Bavaria and the Tirol.

i think you've done well avg of £130 per night, on my recent trip to lake garda and back i averaged also £300! though that does include buying some "stuff" to bring back and some duty free

I prefer to think of it as £45 per person per night.
