Default Investing in Foreign Currency from New Zealand

I'm going to Europe for 4 months in July next year, and have a fairly significant amount of cash (About NZ$20K, which is about US$14K- significant for me anyway) sitting in the bank for spending money. I read the business part of the local paper from time to time, and over the last month or so they have reported that the Kiwi is very high at the moment, and likely to fall in the new year.

Obviously, I like to protect my savings from devaluing between now and when I go (July), or even better, to make some money in the interim. Any reccomendations on what I should do?

Don't engage in currency trading. Seriously.

The OP could probably have used a bit more clarification- I wasn't thinking about currency trading, or anything like that, just advice on when would be the best time or conditions to exchange my spending money (out of NZ dollars, and probably into Euros) over the next 7 months so that I end up with the most money on my trip. Too low brow for this forum?

Just exchange when convenient. Guessing about the market won't help (although it probably won't hurt either).
