Chit-Chat & Today’s Photo … Sugar Cane Factory
TODAY’S PHOTO : Thanks to Jaquine … the sugar cane factory at Porto da Cruz
I paid a final visit to the São Pedro festival last night, and I think after Saturday’s rain, it actually made a pretty good recovery. As it was spread over 3 days this year, I reckon a lot of the traditionalists waited until Sunday night, the official eve of São Pedro to go, so Sunday night was pretty good, with a reasonable turn out again last night. I noticed that quite a few traders packed up early and went, perhaps a bad decision in the end. Though I didn’t see much money getting spent. Anyway excellent all round effort I though, with some good entertainment organised.

The runway in Madeira looks extremely safe when compared to those others highlighted on the world most dangerous airport link. Some of those listed on that link are real eye openers (or shutters if you happen to be approaching one!).
