Postcard Travels

After two years with no travel, we are heading to the beautiful island of Madeira, Portugal. 

The pandemic has taken its toll on our daily lives which included isolation, hibernation, many lockdowns and restrictions. 

We missed many family get togethers, social events with friends and just normal day to day living.

After much research and careful consideration (weighing of the risks) and both of us (actually all four of us) being  fully vaccinated we are ready to step out in to the world again. 

We are travelling with our dear friends to Funchal, Madeira.

After some discussion about our options ie. a hotel stay or self catering we made a conscious decision to not stay in the more touristy hotel strip. 

We found a downtown villa overlooking The Municipal Gardens that is located in the historic Old Town with easy access to everything. 

Msr. Honey & I spent a short stay in Funchal in November 2015. 

We are excited to return for a longer stay to enjoy the mild temperatures (low to mid 20 degrees Celsius during the day and the evening lows in the mid/high teens) the sunshine, plus the lush tropical vegetation, flowers. 

So after months &  years of armchair travelling during the pandemic by way of our photos from previous adventures, NETFLIX & YouTube travel shows … we are off to enjoy the life of travelling again!
