Guest lazyphil Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 End of this month the mrs, littlun and me are off to stay with her mate who's married out there in Linz. Although it'll be a cheapie holiday (one week) staying at their house. I'm just wondering what the cost of beer, meals, petrol and other stuff you can waste money with in Austria. I hear the exchange for pounds to Euros is shite these days. Any Austrians here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 The exchange rate of the GBP vs the Euro is: 1 GBP equals EUR 1.42 Austria isn't cheap but still a bargain compared to Switzerland.

Guest lazyphil Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 BB, thanks for your kind offer but we're flying, don't think I could handle that kind of mammouth journey with two females in the car , I spoke of petrol costs because I imagine we'll be taken around, and I'll offer to fill up as not wanting to appear to be a cheap bastard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgianBoy Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Phil, hahaha, ok, next time then....... as for petrol, should be 1.00 - 1.05 Euro / liter, I hope you understand liters and Euros hahaha......... Have fun ! Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Being from Austria, I am always shocked by ridiculous high prices in the UK, so I guess Austria must feel rather cheap to you. Have a nice stay! Probably won't see you there as I have 12 Days to go to LOS! Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
