When you get to your hotel I would just get settled. You will need to go to the supermarket to get bulk water as the water given you by the hotel is never enough. By the time you have a cuppa it gone and you need water for cleaning your teeth and rinsing. As said by other people if you change money you can go to the Kodak shops or the bank next store to the Matahari as you walk cown the steps its on the right hand side and Macca's is on the other side of the stairs. They will know you are a new arrival if you are not tanned. They can definately pick them. Definately speak to the people around the pool at the hotel as the are a wealth of info regarding the prices of the clothes etc and also some interesting places to see and the costs involved. Take a cheats card with you as this will help you do the conversion. Definately do not get taken in by anyone ringing your room to say you have won a prize its a scam. They were ringing our hotel last year in the end the hotel put a block on all calls if the people didn't know who was calling them. After there were so many complaints, they told one lady that she had won a car another that they had won $5.000 and another that they had won a holiday. That was just a few. Don't forget the suncreen. Hope you have a great holiday as I know you will.
