walking Madeira . Not the walk we had intended to do

[Doris8]

it wasn’t the walk that me and Mr D had intended but we went into town saw the liners, went to the fort where I took photo and into the shopping centre to see if anything suitable for me for lunch and nothing really suitable so went to little girls room before we left. Then back to where we stay which was 8 km total there and back. Decided to have lunch at a restaurant near us went into back and saw that I had lost phone. Mr D rang it and it was in the shopping centre and a miracle someone had handed in to information desk. Had to go all the way back down again another 8 km. to collect it but it was worth it and a relief. Would have ruined holidays if hadn’t got it back. So much information on it. A happy ending. Hot bath to soak feet and back .

🍏🤗 ooh didn’t realise you had blisters!!! You are probably aching all over this morning. Hope they heal up quickly and don’t spoil your holiday!!

I've heard that Madeira is beautiful but a lot of up and down walking to get around.....we haven't been but would like to, but I would find the hills hard going I fear.

[Doris8 1000miles per year in reply to Lonsdalelass]

Yes there are hills and slopes but a lot of flat as well. Plenty of local buses all the time . A lovely country . ☀️😊

[Lonsdalelass in reply to Doris8]

Sounds like we'll have to go then 😀 thanks!

Glad you got it back 🙏 Are you backing up your phone just in case? I learned the hard way after mine was irreparably damaged and I couldn't retrieve anything from it 😔

The other positive here is that you clocked up 18km - nice one 😁 Enjoy your holiday xxx

Yes thanks. Think backup automatic on . Back up to Google.

Oh goodness look at that blue sky! Hope your blisters heal, I've always fancied going to Madeira.

it’s beautiful here. This is our 17th time here so we must like it. Think could be rain for fireworks, but hopefully won’t be heavy.
