Can someone help me out here, please!!
We 're off in five days and still confused about how to take our money across!!!
My lovely wife doesn't like the idea of taking cash (too risky), traveller's cheques are an option... but will we have time, and are they a pain once you get there? (I assume we get TC's from the post office, in Aussie dollars???)
Our other thought is to just use our standard credit card, and withdraw cash from the ATM's in Bali.
BUT... as far as I can make out from the fine print on the Comm bank website, the rate they are paying at the moment is 8,800.
Yes, 8,800!!
That is way lower than on the street, as far as I can tell.
Am I reading something wrong?
What should we do????

AGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!
