Back to the link. Dave & Dave!!!!!

After last years fiasco of the cash machines we will be taking cash this year.

But will take Debit card just in case, as handbag shops seem to drag me in kicking and screaming :-X :-X :-X


Good girl Sue................... good of you to recycle Jules' shoe mountain!!!
These girls must be responsible for the slaughter of an entire herd of cattle with the amount of leather they own!!
Every sizzling steak in the Little prince also produced 20 handbags and 20 pair of shoes!!
Linda has the Handbag & shoe disease as well.
No wonder they will be taking thousands of pounds in cash!!
I wonder if they look at cats and think "Hmmmm - cat conversion - handbag without the meow".




Probably think they are saving the environment! that's 3 of them stopping vast amounts of methane polluting the atmosphere!

Hi Pennie,
Difficult, best to take too much - if you are going to just buy lunch as you are on H/Board, I would say £10 a day for the Beach and Lunch,
or go to the bakers and buy/make a roll etc - take a bottle of water - less than a fiver!!
Just Drinks and excursions, bit of shopping etc,
Excursion prices should be on San Stefanos Travel website, cheaper than Thompsons for the same thing and fully insured!
Shopping - only you can say this one - but you are bound to spend!!
Question is - how much do you drink?
Don has suggested drink prices in this forum - last year I bought 4 drinks - beer plus 3 x shorts & mixers for around €10-12,
trouble is - you always spend more than you want to!! When are you going???

For lunch each day I would allow €10 / €12 if eating out at lunch so you know you are well covered. For the beach last year 2 loungers and a parasol were round about €7 per day. Drinkswise it depends on what or how much you drink. Whatever you have left from one day to the next will be a bonus.Whatever you do you will enjoy San Stefanos. :)

Your debit card should work in the cash machines - (mine did), if they bother to load them of course!!!

After all, he keeps his wallet in the "Bad Arm" side so it's - "sorry can't buy a round - I can't get to my wallet"
Oldest trick in the book!! LOL!!
