Travel Tips

Accommodation is very hard to get and if you're going for a sea view, let me warn you that a number of people have been badly let down by landlords renting to them out of season (e.g. July) and then throwing them out once the tourist season picks up again. Be sure, therefore, that you don't have a rental which is too "touristy". Be prepared to pay a couple of thousand dollars a month. Whatever you do, get yourself a four wheel drive car, as flooding can be very bad, especially at this time of year. You might pick up a bargain from a car hire place at that time of year, but I'm not able to say how much you'd be likely to pay, other than to say that it would be considerably less than ten thousand dollars. Utilities are probably more than you're used to paying, especially telephone connections, and you have to watch for people tapping your wires and stealing from your electricity supply if you live off the beaten track. Be very cautious before signing up for a telephone supply, as C&W have been known to charge for laying lines which are already in place! In fact, it would not be a good idea for you to live in too remote a place.
