Gearing up for MADEIRATHON

Post by Roy Hersh »

Departure: 2 weeks from tomorrow. Can't wait to spend an entire week on the island. Planning out what to pack into a case for the retorno viagem. Going to check out every remaining producer and new one too. 8--)

I went in January. Feels like ages. Can't wait to follow your adventures on the island. Do keep us all updated with lots of photos!

All the best,

Niklas

As excited as I am to try many new and ancient bottlings while visiting the island, every bit as much, I am looking forward to experiencing about a dozen restaurants that I've never been to before. I spent many many hours researching this topic before making the selections. Not easy from afar, but I think we will enjoy lots more great ones than duds. Departure in 9 days. [yahoo.gif]
