*2017 EDIT: I know I've taken most of my pictures from my first trip. You can see pictures from my second trip in my photobook here: http://www.seanhodrick.com/ttm-europe/.
Just returning to NT since the switch. I've seen others in the past post trips they've taken so I figured I would show you all a part of the world that is probably unknown. Madeira is a Portuguese island which is actually closer to Africa than mainland Portugal. I can not speak for the capital, Funchal, since I did not stay there, but it seemed most of the island spoke only Portuguese so it could be hard to get around for foreigners who only speaking English. I was told it is like Europe's equivalent to Hawaii. It's claim to fame however is that it is where Christiano Ronaldo is from. They are also known for their levadas which I believe was their irrigation system long ago.
Feel free to ask any questions
During the summer, the have many religious festivals that are pretty huge. I went to two and made a video from them.
The main drink of the island is called poncha and is a citrus rum.
