got back in the small hours of yesterday and the exchange rate in the supermarket next to the Chill Bar was down to 2.13 [from 2.25 on 1/8 when we arrived]
- that was still the best rate we could find in Icmeler

[dksbbs]

Big supermarket on the road to the old village with the veg store next door was the best we found, started at 2.25 on the 1st August, Saturday 16th was 2.18 as we had used them most days, exchange shops offering 2.12.
