1369542 2014-03-06 04:10:00 Cash & Visa card. A few years ago we found money machines cost to much to use.

Also found that a rope around SWMBO's waist was a good thing :)

1369543 2014-03-06 05:20:00 Since I just do 1-2 week trips. I just carry overseas currency over there ... accom have been prebooked anyway. With credit cards there is usually a 2.5% commission for FX and a ATM fee if you use that. If you exchange the cash in a NZ bank the commission is 1% but there is a min amount if you exchange too little. Nomad (952)
