Madeira 2024 #2 | On film: São Lourenço
(Click on the image to see it as a whole)
São Lourenço was the first adventure we embarked on. São Lourenço is one of THE hikes in Madeira that has been recommended over and over again. In contrast to Japan, I personally did very rudimentary preparations only for my holiday in Madeira. I went along without any argument, after all I had no counter-suggestion.
I remember that there was a fee at the "entrance" which benefited the nature conservation. As we are in the 21st century, obviously you could ONLY pay this fee online. The best thing about it: my internet was on E all the time, no 3G or LTE at all. That's how internet works. At some point we managed it - the solution was a classic one: walk a few metres further on and the internet connection was better again.
The hike was a path over rough and rough and not as straight forward as you might think when you see the pictures of the terrain. You walk along winding paths that you can't guess from the pictures. The landscape was quite barren, yet very green. A strange contradiction, isn't it? We searched in vain for shade here. Sometimes we walked away from the path and up to one of the peaks. The cliffs were amazing! I lay down on my stomach to look down. I didn't take any photos even though the view was amazing. The fear of accidentally dropping the camera was too great.
The pictures were taken on the way back (same as the way there). I captured the view back to the end of the island and the summit that we had reached and climbed shortly before as I rested on a large stone. The hike had made me very tired. What I found particularly amusing about this view was this "hole" through which you can see through to the other side of the sea.
