Fifth year in a row has Melbourne become the best place to live. Last time I guided you through its modern and busy downtown. However, not many people live in downtown- many travel there for culture and to work there. Let's take a look how other districts look like, districts where people actually live and dwell in.
We leave Funchal for Santana, a town on the northeastern seaboard. There are interesting places along the way. we leave the direct rote to see such places as the Madeira’s highest peaks, a stone igloo, and the Faial bay. in case you have not yet visited the cave and volcanic center of Grutas Sao Vicente it is easy to reach along the northern seaboard starting in Santana. As we told you, Sao Vicente is a borderline between the western and eastern parts of the island
Today, we take a look at the eastern part of the island in the direction from Funchal to the easternmost part where are droughts. it seems as if it was not Madeira there. the landscape is vastly different and there grows almost no vegetation at all. it is only after rains when it gets bit of green there. No levada leads to this area. you can find them only in the mountains. the area is inhabited, however. Therefore, some vegetation is actually there.
Another stop to the west of the island is Porto Moniz. from Sao Vincente you travel through tunnels. Make a stop at Ribeira da Janela town. it is a place of dark volcanic rock. the lovers’ rock rises from the sea there.
Apart from famous Madeira wine (Japan is its largest importer), poncho (a liquor with lemon flavor) is another traditional beverage. you can replace lemon juice with orange or maracuja juice. it is served cold for refreshments. or it is served also warm as prevention from getting cold. the wine festival takes place end August beginning September.
A 5 thousand meters high massif of lava was created after huge explosion in the Atlantic. Today we can see only a glimpse of it and this glimpse is Madeira. the island is self-reliant. There are couple of power plants (water, wind), fertile soil and sea rich on fish.
Travel to Madeira by plane only. There is probably no other way to travel almost 1000 kilometers from Portugal and 600 kilometers from North Africa. Moreover, sailing on a ship might not be comfortable for everybody.
It is an island in the Atlantic where you can grow almost anything thanks to humidity, high temperature and fertile soil. so where do you get water that is good for irrigation and how it works?
It is an archipelago and also an island which is located in the Macaronesia region. Only two islands are inhabited as the whole archipelago is a natural reserve. These islands are Madeira and Porto Santo.
The green island of Thassos is situated in Eastern Macedonia. it is green because mountain peaks are covered by pine and olive groves. Its rocky shores are washed by the tranquil Aegean Sea. you will not find any airport or industrial zone. That makes the air here great. Thanks to the marble subsoil, one of the best marbles in the world is mined here.
The ancient town of Afrodisias is one of Turkey’s most beautiful place, still not many tourists visit it. I decided I have to visit it...
We are leaving the Gulf of Napoli beloved by artists. we are heading to a Mediterranean island which came to existence as a result of volcanic activity in the end of Tertiary. it has been forming for millions of years to the terrain formation we happen to know as Ischia.
Across the Atlantic, as we often refer to when we mention the United States, is the capital and the largest city at once of Colorado – Denver. the city of 600 thousand its elevation is exactly 1 mile, about 1.6 kilometers. Therefore, many Americans refer to it as the Mile-High City.
I knew that Turkey's largest city offers a many things to do and to see. but it totally surprised me. One week there was like nothing. I can imagine that I would discover even more of local streets, monuments, gastronomy and modern parts much longer. Let's visit Istanbul through video and photos together.

Balcoes lookout is situated at 86é meters above sea level. a comfortable and wide enough road leads there from the trout farm in Riberio Frio. the name fits. it is a true natural balcony giving you the view of what you would consider a piece of paradise.
The cars on highway from Sabiha Airport, distant from Istanbul city a couple of kilometres, move slowly ahead. So, it is time enough for the first quick acquaintance with the biggest Turkish town and way of life there.

If I could only return to Scotland in one place, it would be either a remote and deserted mountainous island of Harriss, or justified by Skye. and the more I think about it, the more Skye wins.
