    Olá Living Walks,
    Thanks Mike and Yvonne for letting us tag along on your walk today. I know this is a deviation from your normal Quiet walks, but we had a great time.
    Look forward to spending time together in the near future.

    Thanks Mike (if that's you with the camera most of the time)!
    Meliá Madeira Mare is where I stayed in Lido when I first came to Madeira 5 years ago.
    I've seen Alan in a couple of Hit The Road Madeira's vlogs, so he's almost as famous as you! 😉
    I enjoyed the walk in your video as it also brought back memories of my recent trip as I captured some drone footage at dusk around Ilhéu do Gorgulho, which can be seen in my Madeira Part 8 vlog.
    You're so lucky to have the choice of either coffee or poncha, I'd have to toss a coin!
    Have an amazing week my friend! 🤗

      We too recently enjoyed your Monte Palace video and 0:40 tickled me!
      I'll look out for your drone footage at dusk around Ilhéu do Gorgulho, sounds very watchable.
      Do you often visit Madeira? we'll have to meet for a chinesa if our paths cross.
      All the best to you Mate. Mike and Yvonne

      @@LivingWalks Thanks Mike & Yvonne, I suspected you may have been a duet from your hike down from Cabo Girão to Câmara de Lobos (the latter will be in a forthcoming vlog)!
      I often love to put in short comical clips from movies or TV shows to enhance the mood for comedy purposes, so I'm happy it grabbed your attention!
      Yes of course, I'll let you know when I'm back in Madeira, it could be spring next year as I'm forcing myself to visit somewhere new in autumn because I'm so tempted to revisit there for the second time this year, so a possible collaboration may be in order! 😉😁
      I should have my next vlog out on Sunday at 9pm UK/Ireland/Portugal time which I tend to release as a live premiere, so you're most welcome to join me for that one if you're free so don't forget to subscribe to my channel lol! 😁

    Good Evening Living Walks, Thanks for the short video. Can you post a short video of The Residence in the Lido area. I like see the changes they made to the area and the new developments. I feel as if I am there. When We were there we would walk or take the bus. I know I asked you this plenty of times. I just miss it and it is not possible to travel to the island anymore. I spent 6 weeks with my parents once a year staying at The Residence by Porto Bay, We were going since 2006, but our last time there was 2019. So many changes. Keep up the good, your friends from Florida

      Hello there Christina, Yvonne here, I'll have a chat to Mike and see what footage he took from July, as I'm not sure if this area is in one of the walks. We do find it a bit tricky actually going inside but certainly the area surrounding it is good to film. We may well surprise you!! Thanks for staying in contact.

    I subscribed to Alan's UA-cam site: "It'll Be Fun." I love VW's. I think I am up to five VWs.
    Where does Alan have his VW serviced or fixed if it breaks down in Funchal?
    Love this video. Very nice!
    Alan is wise not to move to the USA. He is right. Too many people and problems.

      Morning HD, ah that's great to hear you've subscribed to Alan's UA-cam site.
      And you're a fellow lover of VW's. Wow you're up to five VWs!
      We had a 1975 bus and a beetle aflter that so we love them too.
      You'll have to have a chat to Alan to see where his VW is serviced, I'm sure he'd be happy to chat to a fellow enthusiast!
      All the best until next time!
