The pound

The pound is now down to 2.35 Leva and that is the bank rate, so you wont always get that. I dont know how much lower will go, but it will make skiing dearer.Lets hope the price in leva does not rise as well.

How much worse can it get? The Euro is 1.14 today, I'm off to Portugal tomorrow that's gonna make my holiday a lot more expensive. Dollar is 1.48 today, a couple of months a go it was 2 dollars to the £.

re: The pound

With Bank of England base rates hinted at going as low as 2% or even 1% thats killing the £. The Lev is linked to the Euro (for now!) so any decrease in £ strength to the Euro = more costly Lev.

This will be the same for anywhere you go on holiday though.

Best rate is always with Nationwide Flex account card and no charges.

re: The pound

Rate at this very moment is 2.25 and falling. agreed Flexi Card is best, but you will get no better than the Banks Rates.

re: The pound

Anyone who thought Bansko was pricy/ more than they expected then following the £ moves recently its going to be a fair bit more - on the flip side it could force many people who'd go to the alps to Bansko instead due to a cheaper holiday. Money isnt limitless.

re: The pound

The Leva is linked with the Euro, so all the european resorts are getting dearer too, not sure about Switzerland, but i guess the pound is falling against the franc too ?
