Sounds like it’ll be quite a substantial change. Thanks for the lowdown. Look forward to hearing more about that in the upcoming video you mention… and the cruise hack one too.

[@LivingWalks]

Yes I think it will be, hope the promenade keep’s its heart and soul. Look forward to bringing you updates soon.

Such a great way to experience this place. I love looking at the world thru your channel! Thanks!

So nice of you to keep in touch, we'll be dropping by to your channel to see what's new once we get back from travelling

[@relaxbreathesleep1127]

Ah, thanks for the reminder about the Beatle boat, I do remember it. Be really interesting to see the new marina. Maybe you can film that for us when it’s complete?

[@LivingWalks]

We will do indeed rbs. Thanks for dropping by.

[@jsouto77]

Yep, I remember the Beetles boat, shame its gone and I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for sharing :)

[@LivingWalks]

Oh yes well gone alas. Glad you have happy memories of it. Thanks for dropping by.

Will you be doing a live stream, I do enjoy seeing what goes on in Funchal. It has been 5 years since I have been to Madeira. From 2008 to 2019, I stayed at Porto Bay/The Residence for 6 weeks once a year. I moved to Florida and the journey there is too far and expensive. I enjoy seeing all the changes in the area. I know I ask you before, I did enjoy your videos of the Lido area and the hotel. Look forward to many more streams and watching your channel grow. KZbin was not that popular back then and I did not know about the hidden gems.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi @christinag8740, who knows we might surprise you with a live stream. We will for sure be making an update about events in Madeira in the next week or so, so watch this space. The Porto Bay Residence for 6 weeks, how wonderful! we love the hotel and can see why you'd love it too. Shame the journey from Florida is too far and expensive. Hope to bring you many more virtual trips until the day you might be able to return for real.

[@biggsrd19]

Hi, we are loving your videos and are visiting Madeira from the UK in August. How is the harbour renovation going? We have our fingers crossed it will be completed for when we Visit. Thanks again for the videos 👍🏻

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there @biggsrd19, how nice to hear you are enjoying the videos. Well we hope to do an update on the harbour renovations, we've been away for a while but will be returning in a few days, so watch this space, hopefully it's looking good by now. Hope you have a wonderful time in August, I'm sure you will!

[@biggsrd19]

​@LivingWalks I am still hoping for an update as we are visiting next week! I cant find anything about it online.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there @@biggsrd19 we'll be back in a few weeks and if there's enough to see, we plan to do an update, so watch this space!

[@Track_Us_Down]

Great and informative video! Wishing your channel a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Track Us Down! 🎄xoxo Monique and Doug

[@LivingWalks]

Hello! How remiss of us not to have seen your comment before now. At least we had the chance to wish you a Happy New Year in person xx

[@Geointerest]

Promising changes, looking forward to walk on the new area!

[@LivingWalks]

Same her Geointerest, as you say it looks like it may have some promise.

[@patriciadalton4545]

yes went on the Beatles boat but heard is was moved to a different venue and damaged in storm We are in Funchal next Jan on Ventura itmis ashame we will see all the work We liked it as it was

[@LivingWalks]

Hi Patricia, I do hope the work might be completed by next January, and at least if not you can still enjoy the rest of the city. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.

[@RuePhoto]

Thanks Yvonne & Mike 😊 I'm not too sure if I'd like the change as I'm so used to it as is, but it'd be interesting to see the end result nonetheless. That was so sweet of you to mention me anonymously at the end! 😉😁😋 Have a great Christmas my friends 🤗

[@LivingWalks]

Ha ha, yes we meant you indeed our cheeky friend. How're you doing btw? Hope you're feeling better these days. Any new trips planned. We do always enjoy your adventures.

[@RuePhoto]

@@LivingWalks Thanks Yvonne & Mike, much better thanks! What with Ryanair reducing flights from Dublin to Madeira to only once a week I'm trying to work something out for late April / early May. Any other trips before then will be random. Have a great week my friends 🤗

[@LivingWalks]

Ah how frustrating, you'd imagine they'd be adding flights it's so popular! Anyway keep us posted we'd love to meet up. Really good to hear that you are feeling better. Wishing you a happy Christmas time whatever you are up to.

[@stephenwood9104]

Thanks for sharing this video Mike, I've had lots of nice meals on the harbour and believe the new development will be very beneficial to Funchal and agree that it will blend in nicely with the rest of this area of the city.

[@LivingWalks]

Hello there Stephen, ah it'll be fascinating to see it on completion won't it. Especially for someone such as yourself who has had some enjoyable experiences in the area as it was. Looking forward to hearing your view once it's done. All the best to you.

[@stephenwood9104]

@@LivingWalks Thanks Mike, you too, have a great Christmas

[@Imagewalk]

Thanks for sharing

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for watching friend.

[@LivingWalks]

Salut Britty, comme c'est agréable d'avoir de tes nouvelles. Nous sommes vraiment heureux de vous ramener un peu de Madère jusqu'à ce que vous puissiez y être pour de vrai. J'espère vous en apporter bien d'autres. Bonnes vacances à toi aussi.

[@a.l.5653]

They destroyed the beautiful city park next to the centre of Funchal. City turned in to a horrible, hot, stinky place. Shame and I feel pity for wonderdul Madeira people.

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for dropping by friend. I hope you still enjoy your time in Madeira. All the best to you.

[@willie549]

Disgusting what they are doing.....

[@LivingWalks]

It’s interesting to hear everyone’s viewpoint, especially locals of course, we value any comments made here, it’s necessary to have a voice.

[@willie549]

@@LivingWalks I did. It's slowly taking out the soul of Funchal. Shame on you.

[@YouTubingz]

I grew up there. This is bordering on tragic. 😢 You can no longer hear the sound of the sea against shale. Concrete now. Yum yum. This upscale is beyond the island's natural means. It's outscale.

[@asscrackistan]
