Fishing the levadas! When you get a bit mindful there is so much to hear, see and experience!! I just tossed the cat in for fun and I think she wanted a fishy snack!!

Madeira is a walker’s paradise. Today we did a 13 km walk to Levada do Caldeirao Verde, and oggled at the 100 m waterfall. Walking the levadas (aqueduct) you are on the contour so it is gentle onЧитать далее
Путешественник Not slippery, but you did have to watch your feet for roots and rocks
Путешественник You needed a torch and some had little head room. The Richie Rd who Bukit these levadas, tunnels and pathways over 500 years were a special breed!!!

The flight to Lisboa was on time and we even got a peak of the eastern end of Madeira and a gorgeous sunset. ☺️Finding the luggage carousel was a challenge and finding our apartment was even moreЧитать далее
Путешественник Easy to get lost for a taxi driver, imagine how easily one wrong turn can mess with a tourist’s head.

An easy walk from our hideaway in Sao Vincente to The Fado Museum. Along the way I loved the graffiti. Fado, means Fate, and the melancholic singing is loosely captured by the Portuguese word saudade,Читать далее

Such attention to detail. Love your favourites and I’d add the Ghirlandaio’s, ‘Portrait of a Young Woman’. And how about the museum itself! I was bewitched by the gift shop as well.
