Correct me if I'm wrong but do i not remember seeing a couple of ATMs in the village. I also remember there being very large queues there as well.

Thompsons do Forex by post

I checked today and the rate looked very good, next day delivery if ordered by 3pm.

Don't all rush at once though as the rate will go down !!!

Hi ,

I AlWAYS buy my travel money from Travelex on line. I will pick them up at Dover Eastern Docks..They have by far the best rates.

Hope this helps.
