I think the flights are much cheaper going from here to there... Did you  
check the other way around?  It seems that it makes a difference even  
thought it's a round trip either way?  Not sure why.

Hotels are pretty expensive... would almost be better to find a way to  
camp out.  That's one way to get to know new country.  I always try to  
find the least expensive route, even if it means a little hardship.  :)
