Madeira, Portugal

Funchal, Madeira, Portugal (on a island in the Atlantic) is a beautiful coastal city.

 Besides the Botanical Gardens, the cable cars, the statue of Christ, they have their own "Rock 'n Roller Coaster". Tradition says you ride two and a half miles down the center of a city street in this wicker basket (a local craft) with two white garbed men wearing shoes soled with tire rubber to guide you down.


Yup, it was fun!
