I am wondering wether to get all euros in cash, sterling cheques or euro cheques, what is best.I will be getting a safety box on arrival at accomodation, please help :?
 
i usually take all cash, especially if im getting a saftey deposit box, you are insured for lost/stolen cash on travel insurance, but it's not as easy to replace as travellers cheques. If you take sterling trav cq's you get a better exchange rate over there.
 
EX MONEY

Thats not a bad deal, but it depends on when you get it. The euro conversion rate is so up and down its hard to know what is a good deal although I think that its a good idea to get currency from the bank or the post office to get the best deal as travel agents buy currency in bulk and sell it at a rate that they choose eliminating the "commission charges" which makes them look better.
 
I ranted on about exchange rates before setting off this year, took 1000 euros, and then proceeded to make 7 * 300 euro withdrawls from atm's. Why does Ibiza make you lose all sense of reality???????
 
until you get home and look at your statements - OMG

I keep such things a secret from my dearly beloved, we would never go on holiday again otherwise!!
