Thanks Hit the Road team. This was my favourite video so far. Learnt a lot and you reminded my why I live on the beautiful island with an amazing natural and cultural heritage.
Great video Jeff . The Levadas never fail to amaze me . I keep asking myself “ how did they get the materials up here , how were the levadas surveyed even . I was impressed to hear how important Hydro power is to the island , close to 45% . Well done Madeira . The statute I have always found creepy though . But if it’s there. To represent the suffering of the previous generations and the sacrifices made to build this beautiful island , well fair enough . Now it’ll make me sad all the souls lost .
That’s life hey Gerry, it’s sad to know the suffering that was and is in the world. Thank you for the kind words and I can only hope I can bring you more value in the videos to come 🙏 happy Sunday !! 🤠
Great video! Levada's are one of the many gems that make Madeira a place like no other. There's a recent book on the levada's written by Marco Livramento available in English and Portuguese at the Diário shop in Funchal.
Yes I would love to read the book! I’ve hiked with Marco and he is an absolute pro when it comes to Levadas 🏆 Thanx for the kind words Chris, have a great Sunday 🤠
We walked the Levada from the shopping centre up the hill from the Angel and left it with the Angel in sight further down then walked down to our Pink hotel (you know the one 😉), another informative vlog, really enjoyed it.
Hey Jeff what a coinidence, I saw one of your Hit The Road vehicles for the first time today driving along Madelena do mar, reminded me of one of those classic safari jeeps that you'd see in old movies set in Australia or Africa or somewhere, cool looking vehicle anyway, more tasteful IMO than what I've seen from the other tour companies that Ive seen driving around the island.
Thank you very much 🙏 that was in fact me that day, on a tour :)) yeah the colour is based off the CAMEL TROPHY expeditions all over the world by Land Rover plus I thought it looked more African like myself 😂 anyway thanx for the kind words and enjoy Madeira !! Bom domingo 🤠
Thanks Jeff & André Even if you had to improvise & make things up as you go along you still do a great job & make it entertaining! Surely Elisa has gotten her promotion from princess to queen at this stage & what was the deal by the way?! Also was that the same levada just next to where you picked us up in Funchal last April? Have an amazing weekend my friend 🤗
Hey Rue! Eheh Elisa got herself a new item, girl things ;) or Queen things maybe ;)) Yes, that levada was the one closeby to where you were, it’s a great walk 🤠 Looking forward to seeing you! Happy Sunday 🤠
tens que ver um documentário sobre as levadas, é da rtp. vou ver se encontro para te mostrar. é um espetáculo, é um pouco massudo, mas é muito bom. parabéns pelo vídeo. levezinho, mas é bom não esquecer os vossos antecessores
