OUR SECOND TRIP WILL BEGIN SEPTEMBER 5TH. OBVIOUSLY, A DOCUMENTARY LIKE THIS IS UNDER A STRICT BUDGET. US?200 PER PERSON PER NIGHT IS WHOLLY UNACCEPTABLE AND WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE WHOLE VENTURE. BEARING IN MIND OUR SECOND TRIP COULD LAST THREE WEEKS, I ONLY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR ROOMS TO COST SOME US?80-100 EACH. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS FIGURE IS REASONABLE.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

WARM REGARDS,
