A question about : Exchanging left over holiday money back into sterling.

Hello.

iv got back from my holiday and have brought back 125 euros back with me, I purchased my euros from a local Thomas cook store, how does it work swapping back into pounds?

Is it as simple as purchasing holiday money, like turning up with the euros and asking to swap for sterling and just take my passport?

If I remember correctly a lady on holiday told me to keep hold of my receipt and take that along with the left over holiday money, but can't remember why she said this?

A question about : Travel card that covers Norwegian Kroner?

Me and some of my friends are going to Norway on Saturday and then the day after I get back I'm going to Paris with my girlfriend.

I was wondering if there was anywhere I could get a travel card that covers Norwegian Kroner as well as Euros on a day's notice?

Post Office doesn't cover NKR I don't think, so that's out.
