Hi, why don't you get some travellers cheques - also take a small amount of cash as well?? That way if you lose your travellers cheques, they will eventually be replaced. Just keep these in your safe and cash them in as needed. This is what we have done previously and will do the same this time (3.5 weeks - can't wait!)
Contrary to what you read on the forum, I have not personally had any trouble cashing in travellers cheques, or hassles with money changers. Just use your common sense and go to a reputable looking place to change your money. Debit cards are also handy as a back up, fair enough - you do pay some fees, but what would be worse - being stuck without enough money, or paying some fees? This is just my opinion, everyone is different, consequently "don't worry Mate, just go with whatever you are comfortable with" !!! Have a great holiday.............
