Thanks Marguerite, it was lovely in Madeira, only there for a week wish it was longer. Hardly any Portugese apart from Obrigado and Bon Deya...
Got chatting to some lovely local people there... asked if it got cold at Christmas....
She said 'we find it cold and dress to reflect that', but the European area tourists still find it warm and walk about in shorts and tee shirts....
She also said there is SNOW on top of the island and locals take their children up ther for sledging and snow fun.....
They also dress up the main streets with lots of christmas lights and have parties... She said the lights are really stunning!
Would love to live there for a year or two... to experience life in the atalntic through the seasons... the plants, trees and flowers looked very happy....
Nice place for a break...
