Sunrise in Madeira is 8am which always seems a little odd. We have a kitchenette in the room, even though it is all inclusive so we have a kettle and fridge and of course brought our own Yorkshire tea bags with us and the milk we bring from the restaurant. In fact they don’t care what you bring to the room, bottles of wine, anything! But meals are so nice sitting next to the sound of the sea waves.
Just as Mal was taking this picture, my phone rang. I thought it was the taxi we had booked to take us to Monte Palace Gardens but no, it was maxillofacial. They have 2 cancelations tomorrow and would I like to go. Had I been home I would have but not possible at the moment.
Whilst we have been away Lou very kindly booked our car into the garage for a service and MOT. Each year we think “this is it” we will need another car but once again it has passed the MOT and with no advisories! It just keeps on going but I guess we should start looking as the mileage is knocking up.
We booked a taxi from Madeira taxi tours to collect us from the hotel to take us to Monte Palace Tropical Gardens. The taxi driver was on time collecting us and meeting us later all for 48 euros. It is such a beautiful place. Suffice to say it was stunning but very steep uneven paths and we could have spent a couple of days there! I think we could have spent a day in the Mineral Museum, absolutely fascinating.
By the time we returned to the hotel we were exhausted. This meant we all went to bed a little earlier than usual!
