So my 13 year DD is going to Cyprus in the summer with her best friend and her family. Great!! The flights cost £300. I just asked the friends mum how much money she'll need to bring for the 2 weeks holiday and her answer was: £30 per day plus they want to do at least 3 excursions. So that will bring it to about £600!!! So in total its nearly 1k for this holiday which no way I would have spent if I had known!! Obviously I don't expect them to pay for my daughter, although last year we took her friend with us and ended up giving most money back to the parents because we paid for most food and excursions etc. Regardless, what are people's thoughts? Is £30 per day a correct sum? I've never been to Cyprus but I do understand its expensive. But I thought myself as an adult could have lived of that, including alcohol. They are staying in a villa but want to eat out at least once per day. I'm not a scrooge, I just think it sounds a bit excessive!
