Have just got back from my honeymoon we went to the Maldives what a place great weather lovely clear blue sea its just like it is on the TV adverts but much better.Anyway now comes the bad part we landed at Male airport which is the Maldives only airport got through customs and decided to change some money so changed £200 into the rufiyaa which is there main currency get to our island and tow days later went to pay our room bill and was told thay dont take there own money but will take us and UK at this point i asked for the manager and was told the same so i payed in pounds and all was fine after landing in Britain decided i should change the rufiyaa back over to pounds only to be told by the post office,all the travel agents in Tamworth and various banks that they will not change it back so if anyone is lucky enough to go be WARNED do not get any of there own money cos it is not worth the paper it is printed on.

Good tip thanks. It is on my holidays to do list. Next year I hope.

expensive souvenir :eek:
