This summer I spent my holidays in Portugal. Every time I go to Portugal, I stop by this place – Expo. Not only is it beautiful, but it's also a very nice place to be in the summer. The Pavillion is most known for it's big nation park (Parque das Nascoes), where you are most likely to find the flag of your country. While being here, you would want to visit Lisbon Oceanarium and take a walk down Peek Siza Vieira where you can see the Vasco Da Gama Bridge.

Vi var nylig en snartur innom Lisboa eller Lissabon, som Arve Opsahl ville ha sagt. En natt på Hotel Roma før ferden gikk videre ut i den store verden. Hotellet tilbød oss en guidet tur med egen buss og engelsktalende sjåfør siden vi var en liten gruppe.

Everyone has his favorite, talking about levadawalks and explorings at Madeira. I have walked some of them through more than 13 years. Here is two of my favorites - totally different from each other, but both with a spesific beauty you will remember for ever. Both my favorites you can walk without guid, with good shoes and a bottle with water. BUT: Take care, take time, take the silence.
For the preparence. Buy the book: Madeira car tours and walks, of: John & Pat Underwood. My reference is according to this book.

Sometimes you only walk around. A little hungry, but not hungry enough to struggle for the best. One day - like this, we decided to walk along the coast from Lido to Camara Dos Lobos. It is a distance about six kilometers, sometimes a promenade - sometimes the oposite. But it is possible to go through, and I say. Do it once and you will do it over again and again!

Madeira is the forgotten island for the fourthies, the paradise for the sixties and the future for the twenties. The changes the last five years is nearly unbeleavable. The rapid-road-system is excellent developed. Beatiful ocean bathlands has been build all over the island. The hotel-city at Lido, outside Funchchal, only 20 minutes with taxi from the airport, has all the hotels, stores, restaurants and activities you want.
