Q We are travelling to Tunisia for the first time for half term. I’ve asked around but I can’t find anywhere that will sell me local currency. What do you advise?

A It is a year since mainstream package holidays were restored from the UK to Tunisia, and I have heard uniformly positive reports from returning travellers. Later in February should be an excellent time to visit. You can expect a warm welcome and great value. You just need to adjust to a different way of handling holiday money.
