Twenty-five francs may be generally assumed as equivalent to a sovereign. Personal expenses will, of course, depend much on circumstances. They may be set down at ten or twelve francs per day. The expenses of passports, porterage, and of other small charges, may be estimated, for the whole journey, at about 100 francs. The fare in the Danube steam-boat, from Gladova to Galacz is about 50 francs, and in a sailing packet, from Smyrna to the Piræus, about 40 francs.
