    3. We did it on our first visit to Madeira in 1998 . The ride went right down into Funchal and I don’t remember any lookouts at the junctions.

  5. Did it once a long time ago. This looks much more spectacular. Wonder what has changed ? 😉

  6. FIA thank you for that information, I have never heard of him before and it is likely that I never will again 😆
    As to the toboggan ride I did it with my husband on our first visit to Madeira in 2003 and said never again. But due to my cousin from Australia visiting us in 2018 I found myself back doing it again but that’s it now for me. On both occasions I was terrified in the cable car going up there (I don’t like heights) so the toboggan down wasn’t quite as bad x

    1. Ha ha I went up in the cable car and was terrified too. I came back on the bus! Visiting again next week and wonder what I will do this time? Tobi, we met you in a restaurant in Canico (Oct 2018). Are you still working there? Although we’re staying in Funchal this time round.

  7. The maderians laugh there heads off at the tourists that take these rides just imagine one of those guys pushing brake a leg on the way down?
