Day 2

Day 2 - hiking

Woke up after sleeping in a lovely bed! Haven't slept this nice in a while..

Had a nice good (english) breakfast and then had a presentation about the island and what to do around here. After that had a little swim, surprise, the pool is amazing!, and then went on a hike past a levada.

A levada is a small water way through mountains and city to transport water over the island so the people can irrigate the lands everywhere. Cause the Madeirans build houses everywhere, if it's not a house there it'll be a road, it ain't a road they'll plant some tropical fruits there.

And there is a beautiful hiking path next to it!

Oh wauw.. so many flowers and pretty things.. it really brought the photographer on me up! Around every corner there would be something else pretty to take a picture of!

It was just to stunning.. 

The path langs the Levada, beautiful flowers all along the way! Agapantus are they called. It seems a bit cloudy there, but you always walked through clouds in the morning. Very refreshing and funny!

This and and the pictures under here are just some pictures of things I saw during the hike.

My brother on the bare-feet-walk. It's a path at the hotel, you had to walk over all sorts of stuff.
Stones, Wood, Mud, Sand, Gravle, Leeves, Those wooden cole-like things, Water..
VERY PAINFUL! But in the end very relaxing for you feet after a long hike!

The view from the part of the mountain where the Bare-feet-walk was. You see a small part of a city down there. That's Paul Do Mar. Our hotel was in Prazeres.
