travelfx----2.65 / currency club----2.6152 / M & S-----2.66 /Saga------2.61
.............................................................................................................
Tour operators rates
Thomas Cook------2.679 / Thomson/First Choice----2.541 / Co-op Travel 2.615
.............................................................................................................
Today I believe is the first time a tour operator is offering a better
rate than the exchange establishments. Thomas Cook 2.679T/L to £ sterling.
Tui who owns Thomson / First Choice never give a good rate of exchange.
Example :-
£500 exchanged at Thomas Cook gets you -----------------1,339.5 T/L

£500 exchanged at Thomson / First Choice gets you---------1.270.5 T/L

A big difference of 69 T/Lira, a lot of money

We also always take sterling,as we always get a better rate over there.

I've decided to take approx 1500 Lira and £400 Sterling although £100 of that will just about cover the cost for 2 weeks for the hotel air conditioning (£25 per week), safety deposit box (£15/ week) and £10 each for the tourist tax for the 2 of us.

As I've already got 400 Lira I'll just exchange another £450 which should about do it.

I'm hoping the rates stay pretty good as I don't have the money until pay day which is on 19th August :(
I'll also take my debit card as a backup but I reckon I shouldn't really need it.

Only 32 days to go :D bring on the sun... :sun2
