Hiking around Madeira again 😁 Cold & wet levada walk but very nice! #levadawalking #levadawalk #madeiraisland #threekingslevada #levadawalks #levadasmadeira #madeiraportugal #kingslevada

On Madeira Island, I did a very nice but adventuro

On Madeira Island, I did a very nice but adventurous hike to the highest point of the island. It included 4600 steps, but that was not the biggest challenge. I started with shorts, a cap and facter 50 sun protection cream on my face but we soon walked into this big cloud of rain and fog. I was freezing 🙂 But somehow the fog was better for me since I ´m not very good withheights and I couldn´t see how high I was 🙂

Sometimes the clouds moved a bit and this gave me an idea about what the view normally looks like. There is a video about this hike on Splashpacker YouTube channel and a blog post on it´s way!

I am using hootsuite to pre-schedule because sometimes the photos on my phone are a big mess! So I try to squeeze in some scuba diving photo´s as well, because I did not do much diving on Madeira and Azores. If you´re used to work as a diving instructor, then scuba diving feels very expensive. So I did only a couple of dives on each island, and these photos I still have to sort out too! So here an old one about our dear old friend Mr leaffish on Madivaru Corner on Rasdhoo Atoll on the Maldives 🙂

Love the flower blossom of the cottontree! Many more blog posts and YouTube video´s to come about Madeira on splashpacker.com Still catching up with all the material I have, I also still have those pending Maldives dive videos, Philippines idea´s and photo´s, text´s and video´s about the Azores. So I wont be bored for a while, in the mean time I also try to last correct the Safety Stop book chapters. But sometimes in the midst of all of that, it´s good to stand still and smell the flowers 🙂

Saw this quote in Camara de Lobos on Madeira Island and it especially relates to my story in Safety Stop book!

Life is a journey, enjoy the ride!

Had an amazing day at Furnas today. First I went to see the volcanic activity and filled my water bottle with sparkling mineral spring water 😁

Then I visited the botanical gardens & thermal pool at Terra Nostra garden. Third hot spring I visited on this island but this one was really nice because it's big and you can have a swim around 😁

Blogposts and YouTube video's will follow I am just still catching up with previous material and destinations from 3 years ago 😂 And try to finish Safety Stop in the meantime. That never-ending story 🙄🤣

Still confused about those Instagram stories. I think now it's a story, highlight, normal post and on Facebook too but at least I did not try to be creative for nothing 😂
