Had a brilliant day on our small group tour. Our driver doubled up as our tour guide and we’ve learnt so much about the different micro climates within Madeira, the history of Madeira and the latest information about Madeira today. Swimming and lunch at Porto Moniz was good fun. Being above the clouds at the Fanal forest. Stopping to move a cow out of the road. Cliff top platform and beautiful churches. Thank you Roy x

You see a lot on a lot of short stops. In Porto Moniz, there was time for a swim. There are two lava made swimming pools, one for a few with all the services and the other is free with no service.
