Well, try _The Economist_ for the Big Mac index. It's not always
indicative, but perhaps more so for a traveller than the cost
comparisons of capitals that tend to be aimed at padding Ex-pat
expense accounts and housing allowances.
It would be a shame if you missed some really great places because the
cost of living happens to be two or three times that of the cheaper
ones- maybe just limit your time there and camp on the beach for a bit
longer in the cheaper oens.
