What's the best bet for on hill accomodation?
Is there anyone else, like myself that has left things to the "last minute", that would like to get a bigger place to stay? I was planning to make the trip out with my girlfriend but at $205/night for 2 queens, a pullout, a loft & kitchen it really doesn't make sense for just the two of us.
On that note when will you know about the volunteer discount? What accomodation's does that apply to?
I hate Portugal!
