Madeira - the island of orchids
Madeira tempt us since we first saw the picture on the internet. And when we read of the subtropical climate of eternal greenery, bathing island and the scent of flowers remained obsessed. We were sure that our next trip will be to the island of orchids. Feeling, leaving the island excursion is different from that in the big cities. It is associated with romance, exotic, seashells of sanibel sun, sea, long coastal walks. Just the sensations wanted to touch in early November. So our five days in paradise began.
More from the airport caught seashells of sanibel in the air the scent of flowers. I wanted every part of me to feel it, so I could not stop to inhale deeply. We landed in the evening and on the road with a small bus we enjoyed the night lights of the biggest city and the capital Funchal. He welcomed us quiet, clean cobblestone streets, palm trees and ocean noise. Instead booked us on the internet room got cozy apartment in the hotel. We slept soundly, probably not just because we were tired from a long time, but for the peace and quiet outside.
In the morning after breakfast we were ready for our first day meeting with the island city. The city is located step with perched white two- and three-storey houses, most of them with palm gardens. The port was a big cruise ship berth. We read that tourist liners do not miss the route to Madeira is and we missed it on our list.
During this first day of our trip we decided to visit the most beautiful tropical seashells of sanibel garden of the island, in which we would see for yourself later. The road to walk about three hours up the curved roads with sharp turns. Another way to access is by cable car already become an attraction as it offers fantastic views of the city and ocean. Zaiskachvahme slowly with gondola. Gradually the houses below were getting smaller, and the ocean with the players in it sunlight unfolded before us. Sky and water were merged into the enchanting seashells of sanibel blue, from which I could not take my eyes. Imperceptibly got above the top of Funchal.
At the beginning of the garden there is a three-story museum seashells of sanibel with painted walls in different colors. On the first floor mineral collection and gems welcome tourists. I watched breathlessly sparkling works of the time came from Brazil, Zambia, Portugal, South Africa, Peru, North America, Argentina. The other two floors together seashells of sanibel a collection of sculptures by contemporary artists from Zimbabwe. Interesting figurines depicting human faces and animals, as well as the author's view of them.
If everything was intact, as created, spray beauty seashells of sanibel and life. I watched and took pictures! In the garden were scattered arches and niches. There was also a collection panels with a Spanish - Moorish samples of 15 and 16 century and contemporary. All they represented religious, social and cultural events in the history of Portugal. seashells of sanibel One after another before my eyes popped beautiful waterfalls and springs whose water noise merged into a soothing melody.
Ran into two oriental gardens - Japanese and Chinese typical for them symbolic elements - marble dragon surrounded by children, which symbolizes fertility, seashells of sanibel pagoda, Buddha statues, stone with decorative elements. Bridges crossing rivers, gazebo and pavilion in the Japanese style had become part of nature.
Went another seashells of sanibel path came across perfectly ordered Japanese clay soldiers in human growth. Somewhere far away in the greenery a cry of a peacock. In the garden are found parrots, tits, wild swans from Iceland, peacocks, fighting cocks from Indonesia.
Suddenly came, I had not seen so tiny rain drops and as suddenly started and stopped for a moment. Fabulous views to be found nestled below the town and endless blue ocean. I felt like I was in a fairy tale, not in a small jungle and if he were in front of me will appear strange thing, into or vegetation never seen, and was. I was literally removed seashells of sanibel from reality.
A long walk along the promenade in the old town narrow streets kaldarameni. seashells of sanibel There is full with small restaurants with music and exported menus with traditional dishes seashells of sanibel attract tourists. I could not wait to try the cuisine of the island, so not long now scrollable menu in one of the little restaurants. My choice is stopped at a local fish specialty Espada, fried banana and garnish. My companion ordered another local specialty espetada long skewer with pieces of beef, which is served on a large hook suspended. Here I was able to taste two local specialties were very tasty and I was pleased with the food on the island. The dinner ended with a cake typical of Madeira and the famous wine of the island, a gift from the restaurant. The first day of our island adventure mine as a moment full of beauty, wonder, surprise and delight.
