Forget about it! Roaming charges will cost you way too much.

ok to avoid any additional charges then i should turn off mobile data, and minimise calls and texts for the week.
is that my best option?

Ya you'd be better off. Plenty of free wifi about so you'll be fine. Enjoy your trip, it's a great place

Also disable your voice mail before you leave, some/most networks charge you roaming charges for voicemail left to you while abroad, even if you don't listen to them.
