Hi Adrian,
I'm a wheelchair user and find that thoug most shops can
move the machines so I can reach them there are occasions
when they can't/won't move them so I can't reach to put my
pin in. If you're staying in a hotel run for VI people I
imagine there'll be a machine there you can use and the
staff would be helpful so if it was me I would stock up on
cash while in the hotel.
Hope this helps,
Catherine
