Today we went to the flower, fruit vegetable and fish market.The variety of produce was amazing. We bought a couple of traditional hats to look stupid in. We also went to the botanic gardens. Once again the variety in plants was impressive. This is a quiet and safe island. Very pleasant.
The other place we visited was the embroidary "factory". It was really a shop because all the embroidary is done in the embroiderers home. They are paid by the stitch. Slave labour really even if the price of a hankie is 25 euros.
Madeira is a very nich place and we enjoyed our visit.
Love the hats!!!

ReplyDeleteAt least we aren't wearing funny hats! No blog update from us. Didn't want to lug the laptop to Marrakesh.
