The supermarket next to Vimar has had a facelift and is looking very smart, the new supermarket where Barclays bank was seemed to be very busy. All the restaurants i...

Not sure about Estoi, but there is a travel agent in town on the "out Road" opposit Bellismo cafe, it is called Easy go holidays, they have a website www.easygo-holidays.pt, where they mention tours to Lisbon and other places

Tony's is at the very end of the out road next to Harry's bar. As you leave the beach take the road "Rua do Barranco" (out Road) and it is furthest away from you. It is on the left hand side as you go out. I have been there for Breakfast and very nice, it is great if you are near it...

On this subject would anyone know of a device that can be attached to a TV plug or wall that once it is unplugged or moved an alarm goes off. Unfortunately guests will not always turn on the alarm and I am trying to think of a way of an alarm going off if TV removed or unplugged.

That is a very useful tip about the internet for topping up I must tr...

We have the PAYG, bought from Vodafone at the Intermarche and find it meets our needs, we usually buy 10 euro at a time and it lasts 10 hours, but we just use it for checking emails etc. The one we have you need to use it every 6 months or you get disconnected so check this if buying.

Thanks EMM, that is very helpful. Just wondering is the shop you refer to near Aldi?

Many Thanks
