Fansy an Ice cream or ice lolly. Then a short walk from the beach you will find a small supermarket where you can buy a box of lollies for the price of one beach front.

Shouldn't admit this but if going to the Clube Praia da Oura in the Algarve register on their website http://www.clubepraiadaoura.com/cpo/index_cpo.htm for the special offers and they send you an email asking for your address to send you a special voucher to spend at the hotel. I registered twice in my name and once in my Mrs name (3 different email addresses). The first time I received a voucher for €20 and the next 2 for €10 each, yes €40 in total which we spent in the restaurant for breakfast @ €5 per meal (early breakfast).
They had to be validated on arrival which was a bit embarrassing, but only for a few minutes or so :lol: , but what the heck.
So if you are going to the Praia da Oura, a little money saving tip :oops:

Robby :wink:

Last year we had to get an early ferry from Portsmouth and we stayed the previous night in a Travelinn at Cosham. There's a 24 hour Tesco almost next door to the Travelinn so I went in there and bought a couple of variety packs of cereal, milk, fruit juice, sandwiches, crisps and muffins which meant all we needed to buy on the boat was coffees for both breakfast and lunch. I had taken some paper plates which we had in the house anyway so we binned them after we had eaten. One of the variety packs did us for the journey home.

BRILLIANT tip everyone
I am loving them :tup As i said we are going half board this time (told the kids to fill up on breakfast as much as they can :rofl hee hee) that means a light lunch but i know that we will go on a self catering holiday again and i will use some tips from on here.

I have decided to defo buy my inflatables and frisbees, googles and stuff before we go this year cos that stuff can be expensive over there.
I cant wait for june now :D :cheers

Hi,
Talking about toasties, Poundstretcher/Instore sell toasting bags at 99p each washable and reuse up to 50 times. Make your toastie pop into the toaster and hey presto.
