Very interesting. Thanks... If possible please make a video about fishing, fishing shops and species of fish next year. There is so much fish around you. Merry Christmas!😊
Believe me, you are in heaven. At the moment I´m in Tigre, near Buenos Aires in Argentina. I have to solve things here, and it´s a real nightmare, beyond of what you can imagine. Continental Portugal is nice & Madeira is paradise. Ginja of Pingo Doce 😀👍👋👋
Hello Teodoro, Sorry to hear things are a nightmare. We hope things will be sorted for you soon. Madeira is paradise, that’s very true. Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays! 🎄 M&D
How fun! I love seeing all the different items that you recommended! I'm a huge fan of olive oil, but I wouldn't be able to bring it back in my carry-on bag😮
Hello! Happy New year! Yes you need to have checked luggage to bring it back. We packed fresh olive oil in a water bottle in our checked luggage coming home from mainland. Worked perfect! Cheers! M&D
You noted embroidery---we looked **all over** the shops and markets in Lisbon and Porto for cloth napkins, with either an embroidered rooster or with various azulejo patterns for family who use them and came up empty! The women in a large linens shop across the street from Mercado do Bolhão said that the best they could suggest was to buy one of their large azulejo tablecloths and for my wife to cut it up and make them herself after we got home. We ended up buying dishtowels with the rooster at a souvenir shop. Have you ever seen cloth napkins with anything that would be a unique Portuguese pattern? Thanks!
Hello Stephen, Well I have searched around in my travels the last week and I did not find cloth napkins switch embroidery. Pretty much everything else. I was told maybe to purchase cloth napkins… and have them embroidered. If I ever see them, I’ll let you know! Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays! 🎄 M&D
January and February are the coolest months. If sunny its nice and warm (17-18 degrees on average) but If rainy it can be cool and windy (8 degrees). Stay on the South coast.
Hello Todd! Great answer by cybilm133! True. The south of the island will be the warmest. Definitely worth coming!! Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays! 🎄M&D
Hello! We were in Madeira for Christmas and our boys came for the holidays. We do usually bring chocolates back to Canada. Madeira has a place called Uaucacao and they make amazing chocolate. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Thanks for watching. Cheers! M&D
I was just thinking that I needed to start looking for some gifts to take home and here you are with this very helpful video! So I wasted no time and went to the supermarket. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the colorful soaps you pointed out. The ones that appear on 8.34 of the video. Can you help me out, please.
Hello! Yes the displays and the merchandise change. I was just in Continente in Cancela and they had the soap with the Christmas theme, as well as the lemon ones and others. Also Pingo Doce has some other pretty wrapped soaps that are beautiful for gifting. Also, the airport here at Madeira has nice soaps!! A soap and a box of Uaucacao chocolates from the airport is perfect and doesn’t have to fit in your carry on! Good luck! Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays! 🎄 M&D
Hi Doug and Monique! Happy New Year from the GTA. Great video with some lovely suggestions! We’re heading back to Madeira in the new year and would love to visit that Continente. Where is it in Funchal? Also, do you have a recommendation for coffee cream? Last year we had to make our own blend using whipping cream and milk - a bit ghastly but we couldn’t find 10% coffee cream. Any suggestions w/b appreciated.
Hello Libby! Thank you for watching and the New Year’s wishes. The Continente in the video is on Estrada Monumental in Sao Martinho. There are many other Continente’s all over the island. As for creamer- we have no clue. Sorry!😂 I’ll keep an eye out and let you know if I see any. Nice to hear you’re heading back to Madeira!! Happy New Year! 🥂 M&D
@@Track_Us_Down Ok thanks very much. We can’t wait to get back to Madeira. It’s been a dreary December in the GTA and we desperately need some sunshine. Stay well and enjoy your beautiful home. ;-)

Hi Doug & Monique,
I am moving from central Canada with my 55lb dog next year.
Do you have a moving checklist that I might purchase?
