@romanaround thanks for your contribution

I feel that sometimes the best deals can be found when you arrive rather than pre-booking accommodation, so long as it's not a busy time. Great read!

@tuitupou it is best you make your finding first

try having an adventure some time and see what you can find when you arrive because in some of the most recluse the best places found don't have internet or any online bookings
