Money!!!!!'

Hi guys,

I'm flying out from the uk and was wondering what people in the know recommended about changing money should I change it here in the uk or bring cash with me I can get around 2.3 lv to the pound at the moment here in uk. If I should bring cash out are euros or sterling better.

Cheers in advance

Usually the exchange rate is better over there than here. If your taking cash then sterling is best usually in the form of nice new £20 notes.

Which resort are you going to so people can advise on the best places to change your money.

re: Money!!!!!'

i agree with boon,9 times out of 10 the booths are fine but they can try it on as we have found.the banks are good but only tend to be open while your busy skiing.i always change money in round figures so i can quickly see what i should be getting.steve.g
