Sweet!! I've got 100 levs to go with so I'll just take some cash and change the rest when I get there. Any guide as to how much cash is enough?? I've seen so many conflicting posts on how everything costs over there I'm not sure how much to take??

depends upon how much you like to party!- i would have said about £400 for the week should do you ok.
buy your spirits from the supermarket for when you get back-dont pay for big meals on the mountain etc- where you staying?

rlia, change some for when u land so u can go straight out, then do the rest at the rila you wont get any better exchange rate,done it for the last 3 years, just change about 50 pound then do the rest there, so u can get on it it 11.30pm when u finally arrive
