Much larger pictures, too :lol: :lol:
Funny but last Sunday the site looked the same but when I posted the picture of Albatros in port the picture came out large! I had no idea why :? at the time but I guess they were in the process of changing over! :D Madeira has the best cams!!! :D
Let's hope they keep them up. :D. I did notice there isn't a panarama cam, but pictures seem to include more area. Did anyone notice that they said there is new port in Caniçal? Take a look at this map to see distance from Funchal (1) to Caniçal (26)
http://www.madeira-web.com/PagesUK/tourmap.html Manuela, about how far is it in km?
Trouble is we usually sit arourn the blind side
Well then, we will have to ask them to move the cam...CJ
Thanks Manuela. I have so many "favorite" places on the island, that there are still places I haven't seen, but I will. :-) Every trip I hit my favs and then add a few more.
Needs a little fine tuning.

So, Keith, next time you will have to sit in camera view and wave to us! :lol: :lol: :lol:
It tends to be a little more noisy on that side but anything to oblige :lol:
Thank you, Keith! We will be watching for you! :lol: :lol: :lol:
