Next time, you'll need to do some levada walks and visit the north coast. Glad you had a good time.

Madeira is definitely on my list of places to visit! It's a botanist's dream!

Madeira is a beautiful island. So much to see. Next time you go, there are two golf courses, if you get a chance, play them both. Beautiful views.

That toboggan ride is the best thing I've seen in a long time. For me it would be worth whatever it cost to go to Madeira. The view from the Savoy Palace is fantastic. I'm sure I would have loved the bubbly as well.

Looks like you had a wonderful time. Funchal is kind of old world sophistication, with a touch of glam and quaint - all at the same time. It’s an interesting mix. Look forward to adventures to follow…

How do the woven sleds go back up? Also, were there seatbelts? 😵‍💫 I would probably get arrested for "disturbing the peace" with my screams. 😅. That said, super exciting! Thank you for sharing!
