what the best thing to do when going to borovets? is it best to take just cash in sterling then change it there. or can you just use your debit card? any ideas would be grateful. flying out on the 6th march if anyone wants to meet up then contact mere: Money

The hotel will give you approc 2.5
Banks will give you 2.6
You can get 2.7 - BUT BE CAREFUL - ONLY FROM SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST, perhaps you ski instructor.
Your switch card will get you nearly 2.8 if you can use it. Mine was OK.

Prices are all displayed in Levs, so taking Euros just complicates things-except at the airport where prices are in euros!
