Traveling Alone Is Expensive!

Man, this sucks. Just to get into a jeep to go to Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary tomorrow (the only way to go), I have to pay 1450 Rs, plus an additional 250 to get into the park. 1700 Rs for just one day! 1000 Rs for a canoe trip. 700 Rs for a tea plantation tour. I almost paid 3500 Rs for a houseboat; 875 each when sharing with seven others is MUCH better. Plus every time I have to pay for a double room because there are no singles, and no, I can't pay only a single price, because I'm staying in a double...sigh. Traveling alone is great, but it sure is hard on the wallet.
