Am I missing something? Have Lunn Poly given me some other kind of currency (Unfortunately I can't read Bulgarian so don't know what they say on them) or will I just have to sneak them into the country?
Going out on the 7th Feb to Borovets from Gatwick so your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

there are certain limits i saw a notice up at the airport but couldnt tellyou how much. in borovets over new year the exchange was 2.7- 2.6re: Levs
The limit is 5000 Levs without declaring at customs....look at the Bulgarian embassy web site last updated 18/01/04.....(Link below)http://www.bulgarianembassy.org.uk/consular/12.html
not sure what the exchange rate is in Borovets but I'm taking £50 worth of Levs as emergency funds and loads of sterling to change over there!
