Ha ha ha ha ha... oh Mike I do love your narration... sword fighting snails, bra's and candlesticks and a church that was moved in the night. I'd like to think it's all true!!! Thank you for making my day!

[@LivingWalks]

Morning LY&M, ah yes well perhaps that's the true bit?

[@LivingWalks]

Join us on this Funchal, Madeira, Portugal 2021/2022 New Year Walking Tour. Amongst the facts we share with you, there's a couple that are completely made up - see if you can spot them! :) We hope you enjoy this guided tour around the charming Funchal streets on the isle of Madeira, Portugal - feel free to comment. We try to answer all of them.

[@dingusmoped]

Nothing compares to European architecture...go places and cry because it's so beautiful!

[@LivingWalks]

I’d have to agree with you there friend!

[@joannamonikagardynska829]

Quite so Joanna.

[@yesnomads]

Oh you are taking us right back there. What a wonderful place. I hope we can return one day. Great narrated tour.

[@LivingWalks]

Good morning YesNomads, well it's a pleasure, I hope you'll be back again soon. We'll be filming the fireworks tonight btw, so hope you'll drop by again for the spectacle, I think they'll be quite something? All the best to you.

[@antonioramos7139]

so beautiful. My mom was born in Santo Antonio and misses the place terribly. I'm going to show her your video tonight. She'll be thrilled.

[@LivingWalks]

Good morning Antonio, well you are more than welcome. We couldn't be happier to hear that you'll enjoy the walk with your Mum, do let us know how she finds it won't you, we'll be thinking of you both. I do hope it evokes happy memories?

[@relaxbreathesleep1127]

More, more, more please Mike... I love your narration!

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for the encouragement RBS, I'm sure I'll be doing a few more now I'm getting in the swing of it. Happy NY to you.

[@EDSONBRIGIDO]

Your videos are wonderful. Make me travel to Madeira again. His walks make me revisit the streets I also walked and which I miss so much.

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there Edson, well it's a pleasure to take you back there. We'll be filming the fireworks tonight, so hope you'll drop by again for the spectacle, if that's your cup of tea? All the best to you.

Never been to Madeira, but planing my next Christmas there base on this video 🤩🤩🤩 beautiful thank you ❤️❤️

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for connecting Pilar, glad you enjoyed it so much that you're planning a visit, you won't be disappointed, all the best to you.

[@AmbientWalking]

What an incredible tour! I really had so much fun! Thanks! 😁

[@LivingWalks]

All the best to you Mate!

[@RuePhoto]

Thanks Yvonne & Mike ☺ This was another of your videos which came up in my suggestions this evening so who am I to refuse such quality content, especially combined with your witty parodic commentary?! Funchal truly is beautiful during the season of Advent as you captured it well & loved the walk through Avenido Arriaga! I'm slowly on the mend & almost back to my regular routine, albeit it slowly & hope you've settled well into your new home. Have an amazing week my friends 🤗

[@LivingWalks]

That's very gracious of you Rue, considering the top level standard of your own filming and editing! So glad you're on the mend - really hope that it's not going to get in the way of your filming. I imagine you've got your next destination lined up already? Nice of you to remember our house move. Yes, it went really well thanks - it's a lovely little house, with all the charm and character of the old one - (you never really know for sure until you move in!) Such a shame to have missed you this year. I'm sure we'll cross paths soon. Now that the move is out the way, we'll be back in Madeira in a few weeks and then again just after Christmas. Wishing you a speedy recovery 🤗

[@RuePhoto]

@@LivingWalks Thank you 😊 I've my next destination(s) lined up for later in the month, yes you guessed it! We'll definitely make a plan to meet up sometime next year. Enjoy your time on the Pearl & yes I'm rather envious! 🤗

[@HurleyDeanSandpointIdaho]

I've never seen such beautiful Christmas lights. Love Funchal. Have a wonderful New Year.

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there HD, Happy NY to you too. Well they do rather go for it in Funchal don't they. Are you still winter wonderlanding it in Sandpoint?

[@HurleyDeanSandpointIdaho]

Yes. Very cold with a lot of snow. Wish I had a summer place in Europe or Hawaii.

[@GiangWalker]

I walked with you, so happy. Happy New Year my friend!✨✨🎉🎉

I enjoyed the commentary. Happy new year to you both.

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for visiting JP, we were chatting about you the other day (in a good way) and wondering how you are. We both wish you a good year to come.

[@rusticus6393]

Happy to oblige. Must say these narrated walks are simply brilliant so do keep it up. Wish you and your subscribers all the best this coming year.

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks Roadrumble - we appreciate your presence here on the channel. Good luck to you and your family in this coming New Year.

[@John_McFadden]

Hi Mike - Thank you for going to the trouble of creating such professional, high quality videos. My wife and I will be visiting Madeira for three weeks in March and have now watched (and given a like to!) all the videos in your Madeira playlist. It feels like we have already been there! The videos with the captions were excellent but we really enjoyed your recent narrated versions even more. I know they take more effort to produce but I definitely think they're worth it. Thanks again for creating this great video series! Cheers!

[@LivingWalks]

Good morning to you John, how nice to hear from you. Receiving such a message makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for the feedback too regarding the subtitles and narration. We'll take that on, as we have a few more in Madeira to come. What a shame we'll be back in blighty when you are here, we would have loved to have shared a coffee with you. You'll have a wonderful time I'm sure. Thanks again for connecting and hope to stay in touch.

[@John_McFadden]

@@LivingWalks Thanks, Mike. We are looking forward to your upcoming Madeira videos and hope to get that opportunity to have coffee if you come back to Madeira next year. Cheers!

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there John, I'm sure we'll be back next Christmas if not before and that'd be lovely if we coincided.

[@portuguesnomundo]

Thank you! Cheers Petr.

[@peteregeto8948]

Amazing! Do you know about how long they keep the festive decoration and lights on in January?... Me and parents plan to go on 5th of Jan, would be nice to still see these lights...

[@LivingWalks]

Hi Peter, last year they were taken down on 9th, so hopefully unless they take them down early you should just get to see them!

[@repairitdontreplaceit]

great video mike , do you know how long the lights stay up as we are visiting for a week from jan the 8th

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. It's 24 degrees and wonderfully sunny at the moment. Regarding the lights, we were told yesterday that they'll be taking them down on 9th, so you should just catch them. Do give us a wave if you see us walking around with a pocket 2!

[@NC4Walker]

Happy New Year

[@LivingWalks]

All the very best to you in the new year too John.

[@BoyInAFridge]

Haha! Really enjoyed it - I think I counted three fake facts :)

[@LivingWalks]

Well spotted BIAF, glad to hear you enjoyed it. Happy NY to you.

[@gonsalvesjose03]

espadas to collect iron ore from the bottom of the sea,,,errr not ..tall story..good video with some history,, funny comments,, manage to say the surname of the discovers of the islands,,, correctly Gonsalves,, Zarco maybe nickname due to the sword fight with the moors in north,,Africa,,lost an eye.... most English speakers get stuck with the c with the funny leg..

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there Jose, well how could you possibly believe that espadas don't collect iron ore from the bottom of the sea! I'm most honoured to hear that you felt I managed to say the surname of the discovers of the islands correctly. Interesting to hear that Zarco maybe nicknamed due to the sword fight with the moors in north Africa when he lost an eye!
