Changed £10 into rupees

Had a fairly good day today but even so a simple operation turns into a big problem. Getting Gas, We went into Cooks Travel Agency to be met by the most arrogant man I have ever met. He called us Hippies and wouldn’t book us unless we had £100 per person. In the shipping agency there was no problem. Managed to change the liquor permits without any problem 40 rupee for 6 units also changed £10 at 25 per pound and found we could have got 26. Its still really hot in the town and gets unbearable. Feeling a bit better about things today also changed $4 at 10.50 rupee for one. Close to sorting things out maybe tomorrow.
