The best way to work out your extreme day trip is to note down where you want to travel too and what you want to see. Set a budget for flights, food, trips/attractions and travel.

Some attractions work out cheaper if you book online beforehand and you can beat the ques, local food prices can vary quite a bit depending on the place you visit the main tourist areas tend to be expensive quieter street cafes and restaurants tend to be a fair price.

When planning to stay overnight check out local hostels and B&B. Hostel dorms prices can start from £10+ and most include bedding/towels, kitchens and internet so you can work to quite a small budget.
