hey!
Been having an awesome time over here.
Left London last friday on a good ol' easyjet flight to Madeira. For those of you who dont know, Madeira is an island which is about 500kms from the coast of Africa and about 1000kms from the coast of Portugal and it is where my mums family is from. The flight was fine apart from a little geeza kid crying the WHOLE way (3 and a half hours!!!!) I thought i liked kids...... sheridan, you would have KILLED yourself. Anyways we arrived in the capital Funchal and jumped into an old school Mercedes taxi. I swear we thought we were going to die. The guy couldnt see over the steering wheel, he was going 120kms around hairpin turns and there were no seatbelts in the back seat...great. After about 20 minutes of me biting my fist we got to our hotel in one piece.....just
Madeira is such a beautiful island although it has changed heaps from what i remember (although i was only 10 when i came here last). The weather has been fantastic-its been 25/26 the whole week so we have been able to wear Australian clothes! Yesterday we hired a car and saw heaps of the island. It was definitely an experience for Gerard, driving on the wrong side of the road when everyone drives like lunatics. But we had a great day and saw some fantastic scenery (mountains, waterfalls etc)
Tomorrow we head to Amsterdam to get up to no good (just jokes mums)
Feel free to email or write a message on the msg board (thanx for the tipping update tez!)
Take care
Katie and Gerard xx
