Well almost forgot about this tour until flipping channels when I got home. Contrary to the fever for the royal tour bring reported, this your hasn't brought much excited talk. Grumbling from many about the cost. I notice our news made sure to clarify Kate was paying for her hairdresser and not the Canadian tax payers. Seems the cheque being picked up by Canada is a touchy subject not just here.
i am not surprised. they were mentioning the cost of their last trip at 650.000 dollars. i imagine this one will be around the same amount, as the most expensive things are transport, lodging and security which remain constant.
it is quite a sum, that i wonder if it wouldn't be best spent in perhaps supporting the charities they stand for.
