Yesterday I went to the Thomson Holiday office. When I booked our holiday to Thassos there some weeks ago the woman from the travel agency urged me to change some Pounds to Euros. "We have the best deals in the city."she smiled.
"Well, I still have lots of Euros." I replied. "I frequently travel abroad."
"Well, are you sure? You will not get a better exchange rate, trust me.
"Thanks, but I am quite sure I am fine."
The next day my husband gave me a 100 US$ note. "Exchange that for Euros." he said. I did not want to see the woman again so I asked him if he could go there. I waited in the car. Instead of Euros he came back with the same 100 US$ note.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Well, they say you have to change the Dollar first to Pounds and then they will change the Pounds to Euros."
"What is the point? We don't need Pounds. We need Euros."
"I know. I told her that. She insisted that we have to change it to Pounds first."
Well, there is no logic to this, therefore we will take our 100 bucks and change it in Greece. After all you always get the better rate when you're there.
