Money and Credit Cards
Traveling
in Europe has been simplified a great deal by the introduction
of the Euro.
It is now used in most countries in the EU and the
simplest way to draw cash is much as you would do at home,
through an ATM. ATM's are open 24 hours a day but limited to
the centres of
bigger towns and cities, not in some of the smaller communities
we cruise through.
You need to make sure that
you have a card that carries the Cirrus, Mastercard or Visa logos
and that you have an up to date and recently used pin
number.
It is probably as well to
call your bank and double check that your card will work in Europe.
Most have quite a low daily withdrawal limit. About 300 Euros /
300 US Dollars / £200 UK pounds
Credit cards are widely accepted, but not in the smallest establishments. All
however use
chip and pin.
