Still relying on Daily Pic.

09.02.07

At last the cam seems to be fixed. And the Daily Pic MSC Musica

Now - any hints what I can do on myself during some hours Funchal Port of Call with NCL Dream in October? I heard there is a narrow gauge railway? Jackie any hints please?

I heard it was being renovated, think it is the North where we don't often go. I have been on 2 Cable Cars. Try the following web site or PM Aurora. http://www.madeira-web.com/

Thank you -obviously the narrow gauge RR has not been restored yet

Rather apt, the Daily pic is of the airport and my daughter & family touched down there about 1 hr ago, for their Half Term break. Busy as usual on a Monday. Temp 70 F

This was the original runway :shock:

And this must have been the type of aircraft that was used then.

We first went to Madeira in 1979 when the runway was as you have shown Manuela. I thought we were going into the sea, how that plane stopped I just don't know. I refused to go back.- until we called on a cruise ship in 2001. Since then we have been regulars, either by cruise ship or staying in an exchange timeshare.

The book "Unforgettable Islands to Escape to Before you Die", a renowned book published by BBC Books which has been translated into 20 different languages, hails Madeira as being an unforgettable region. Together with other destinations as exotic as the Norwegian island of Svalbard, the Palawan Islands in the Philippines, French Polynesia, Vanuatu, Bali, Madagascar and Fiji, among a host of others, Madeira appears in great prominence within this book, written by photographers Steve Davey and Marc Schossman, both specialists in the art of travel, who have spanned the globe in search of unusual landscapes, faces and festivals. http://www.madeiraturismo.com:80/pls/madeira/wsmwdet0.detalhe_conteudo?p_cot_id=978&p_lingua=EN
