One of the easiest ways to save money on a long trip is something most travellers never think about. Cruise ships and hotels charge a premium for laundry. On a cruise you can easily pay $3 to $5 per item and hotel laundry isn't much better. A local launderette costs a fraction of that and lets you pack less by washing as you go. There's a bonus too. While you wait you're sitting in a local neighbourhood away from the tourist trail, and some of the best local recommendations come from chatting to the staff.
