How good is the exchange rate out in Borovets at the moment?

Hi I go on holiday on Saturday and was thinking of changing my £'s to Levs when I get there. Does anyone know what the exchange rate out there is like at the moment?

Thankyou

But if you use a debit card at the cashpoint near the Gondola, it comes out at 2.85 at the moment.

A credit card will accrue interest straight away but a debit card is okay.

so is it better just to take the card and get money from the cash point ?

Be careful the taxes on the cashpoint are not in the rate...
Best bank for changing are these in the oppositof the gondola Biochimbank or at the Ela Hotel Postbank, gave 2,76 as I leave Borovez.

P.S. and normally they have the best rates.
