    Hi L.W. Thanks for this wide ranging Funchal walk. So good to learn from your good local knowledge. Interesting to hear about the building boom and soaring prices. I also didn’t know about the Natural History Museum 🚶‍♂️😮. We are just back from Paguera, Mallorca. We had a great time, all went well 🏝🏖🏡⛰ 👫🌊🌊 ☀️. See you about, cheers, Don 👋

      Morning Don, yes they are rather soaring. we were pondering on relocating here but brexit and the high costs are making it a trickier prospect. Ah so you’ve been in lovely Mallorca, good to hear you are out and about and travelling again. Did you take any footage? Look forward to seeing it if so.

      Did you go for your recorded walks to Jardim Magnolia (Rua Dr. Pita) yet ? Small but nice, and home to an excellent restaurant. They cut too many trees a couple of years ago to put the tennis/paddel fields, in my opinion. I know the neighbourhood quite well, because I stay every year in the summer at Enotel Magnolia (former Quinta do Sol) when I come over from Belgium.

    Thanks Ian & Yvonne ☺ It appears I'm the only person so far with the requested info, but regarding the Harvey Engineering Co. Ltd, Glasgow contraption in Jardim de Santa Luzia, the company supplied a steam engine & gear train for driving the sugar cane crushing mill at the William Hinton sugar factory in Funchal. The machinery & mill chimney are all that remain of the mill.
    Does this mean I win one of the coffees you spoke of?!
    (Sssh I cheated, I used this oracle called "The Google" on something call the "interweb", so please don't respect me less lol!)

An interesting tour all round and what great kids you found to chat to. Shame you’re not still in Madeira, we could have met up for a Chinesa. We’ll be here again in Dec and Jan if you’re about?

    Is it as touristy as they say? I’m planning to go but I don’t like the artificial feeling of very touristy places

    • @LivingWalks
      @LivingWalks  Рік тому

      Hi mingmangmung, well it very much depends on where you go. We love to walk the Levada's and on certain walks you may not see another person all day, similarly in the North and many other smaller towns. In Funchal of course, there's going to be a lot of tourists and hopefully you can see from our walks here what it's actually like as they are done in one long take so unedited. We love Funchal nonetheless even though there's quite a few tourists around, it has a great heart and soul. Hope you enjoy it if you go.
