Here's our trip costs:

Overall total cost: £8289.92 (including insurance). Average daily cost: £44.09 (188 days in total)

Travel insurance (2 people): We arranged European insurance through 'ERV' as they specialise in skiing, but took the 'Red Rookie' option as this covered us for off piste skiing, ski touring and rock climbing (as long as this wasn't the main purpose of our trip). Cost: £420.08 for 214 days (not all used). Average daily cost: £2.00

This is how it looks in a pie chart split between activities:

France (Dordogne) & Spain (Costa Blanca, Zaragoza and Barcelona):
As noted above, we stayed at a friends house in the Dordogne and with Jackie's father and Elizabeth in the Costa Blanca, so had few accommodation and few meal expenses, so our costings in this section give a rather false view of anothers total costs.
