CASH? STERLING OR LEV

Am off to borovets in Feb'07. went ten years ago so going back to see how everyone isdoing! Is it best to taake sterling still and change in resort..or take Levs from home? What are your experiances of the past few years? Will it be any different from Jan. as they are in the EU. Enjoy your hols! Booze

No different in Jan, they're not joing single currancy til 2010 (orsomething like that!).
I normally take a bit of lev, a bit of sterling, but mainly use the cash points in the town as exchange rate is quite good. Get charged about £1.50 by my back but it's better than having too much left over (as if!)! Very Happy

I would change cash anywhere other than banks hotels and proper cash exchange places as you could end up out of pocket. take leves and if you need to change any while there take sterling new notes no ripes or writing on.
