Money • The Italian currency is the Euro. • The exchange rate is about £1 = €I.17 • The tour covers breakfast and dinner • Packed breakfast for Heathrow? • Lunches • Money will only be needed for: • Snacks/Coffee/Gelato • Lunch • Gifts for teachers. • I suggest between £50 and £75. • Don’t bring travellers cheques & there are ATMs

  18. Rules • It is important that everyone enjoys their trip. It is even more important that everyone is safe. • So, we need everyone to follow these simple rules: • Any instruction given by a member of staff must be followed without question. • When a member of staff is giving instructions all students must be silent immediately – this is especially important at airports and ‘in the field’. • There is no alcohol – the good stuff is too expensive and the drinking culture is very different • No smoking – it’s like a school day!!!

  19. Any questions? • Hoodies…
