Madeira a Garden Island

Well Roders, was I right or was I right!! I Knew you would like it, you just can't not. Glad you had a lovely holiday. Its a fantastic view from the cable car is'nt it. We haven't found a bad hotel in madeira yet. It may be an island, but there is so much to take in. We'll be back there in December. Another good thing going for it, it's warm all the year round.:thumb: 02

 

Lovely photos Roders,now that is one place I would like to visit especially with all the flowers you have shown us.A gardeners paradise me thinks and doesn't the QE2 look grand as well.:thumb:

What a shame we couldn't have kept her in this country to bring in some much needed income.though I suppose only people with pots of money would be able to afford to stay on her though:rolleyes:

Thank You for sharing your holiday with us all

 

At this time of year it's the land of the Agapanthus.

More reasons for us to go Roders, pity we can't book it now:( oh well one holiday at a time.:D

 

Lovely pictures Roders, glad you had a good holiday. We have been to Madeira twice and seeing your pictures brought back some good memories. Great views from the cable car did you come down on the toboggan?

 

Yes D we did come down on the toboggan.......................It just has to be done...It was a bit scarey for my wife though lol.
