money!

Taking the family to Pamporo on Saturday. Should we get currency here, sterling travellers cheques here, use the atm there or the credit card there? How much should a family take for a week away, (half board, ski hire and lessons already paid for). Any other advice about anything?

Dont take travellers cheques as they dont accept and you can change english only sterling there. There are cash machines there also

Yes there is a charge for using the ATM's. I was charged £1.72 for each withdrawal of 200 Lev (at 2.75 lev/£). I took some cash as well, in case the machine was empty/faulty. One tip, make sure the notes you take are clean, with no rips/writing on them, if they are, they won't change them.
