Not preloading my Wise card with some European currencies last week. Woke up this morning to see that the A$ had dropped a LOT overnight. I guess I'll just wait until I depart in the hope that things improve a bit. I might load a little now in case the fall continues.

On the bright side, I have pre-paid as much as I could over the last couple of months including most of the accommodation and train fares etc. I did get our Eurail passes last year at 20% off - looks even better now. However, I can see we might be shopping a lot at the market during this trip to save a few dollars.
 
Was planning on taking The Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig in western Scotland in August this year. Haven't looked at tickets, as European trains don't go on sale until about 3 months prior.

Had a peak yesterday ... sold out! Looks like they release the years schedule up front. Damn.

Scotrail regular service it is.

Peak season too but keep an eye out for cancellations
