SPENDING MONEY Miss Wright will keep the money and be “banker” every morning after breakfast. Please place the money for each day in a separate labeled envelope, and put all the envelopes in a large named one. Pupils must keep their money for Friday and Saturday whilst we are traveling to our resort. You will need to have some pound sterling for travelling to the port and then Euros after. You are likely to need some change for the toilet along the way

Spending money Asda, the Post Office, travel agents and the banks change sterling into Euros. It is also worth having some Euro coins as we will stop for the toilet along the way and they charge between 50 cents and 1 Euro. Normally, you receive a voucher worth that amount that you can use in the shop. If there is time on the return journey, we may stop at Cite Europe, but this is dependent on travel time and ferry crossings.
