current exchange rate

has anyone just returned from bovorets who could tell me the rate of exchange for lev, i exchanged £50 here yesterday (just to have on first day) and got 2.13, would it be better to wait til i get there to change the rest? it probably wouldnt be a great difference if it was only me but there are 5 familys changing money,

Hi Lisa

re: current exchange rate

Boon thanks for that, were coming back out for our 4th trip and have just been chatting about exchange rates, and should we get out there, was that rate with Crown. We're out on 16th so is low season and as last year its cheaper to get lift passes in resort than with our tour operator.

re: current exchange rate

Yes that rate was with the crown booths (the only ones i use). I always change in resort its always a better rate.

re: current exchange rate

got a load of euros left from spanish ski holis as well, so i'll exchange them for levs and a lift pass :-)

re: current exchange rate

High Street rate is always poor but if you use Moneysavingexpert to book online you will get a good rate for levs and other foreign currency. I got 2.19 for collection in London today. Worth checking the following if you want to take some with you: http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/holiday-money/

re: current exchange rate

Got 2.18 using my card in the cash machine with no extra charges.
