hi, i have read a few posts and am getting conflicting infomation about buying rupees. can i buy some before i leave manchester or do i have to get them when i arrive in goa. usually when we travel we have a small ammount of currency to last us for the first day or so and then change some. any advice would be great
thanks angie xx
Don't get them until you arrive in Goa.
Then either wait until you get to the resort or buy £10 in airport.
The exchange rate in airport will be 10-20% less than in the resorts.

It's hard to believe - but Goa has ATM machines + armed guards. 
Use your Nationwide Flex Account cash card and you will get rupees with no commission and no charge for using the card.

There was a reply I read somewhere that it was possible to get rupess in small amounts from LLoyds bank in the UK. I know that this goes against what I thought were the rules about restricted currencies. Can anybody confirm this story to be true?
Yes its true LLoyds do sell rupees, but the rate is not very good. 
I have also heard that you can buy small amounts from bureau de change at airports; again the rate of exchange isn't very good.
thanx everyone
i am going to enquire at nationwide tomorrow about one of them cards and try get a couple of quid from tsb
thanx again angie xx

Going places had them last year, bit less than the resort rates but not bad for £20 worth to tide you over.
FTV That's 3 days in Goa for me....
