Don't worry too much Jan,

RR seems to be quoting the business rate not the travel rate.

Average exchange on high street seems to be 1.15 approx.

That's good, it's about what we got last Friday. Everyone says that in Turkey they will take anything but I think we will stick to Lira where possible as my theory is that they're not daft there and if they take euros it must be better for them and not us. :)

 

I'll pop back to the general chat now as I'm going off thread.

Here's a link to help with exchange rates. You can change it to the currencies you need and then copy and paste it and print it out for your wallet.

The U.K. £ comes under B for British in the list.

And you can reverse it to work conversions either way

I know 15 cents won't buy much but they all add up. At least you're getting more than us last year.

We didn't buy many though as we had quite a lot over from the IE in March so I don't suppose it makes much difference.
