80 Senses #71… Carro de cesto, Madeira
Who said Madeira was boring? No longer does this Atlantic outpost of Portugal warrant the sobriquet ‘God’s waiting room’ on account of the seniority of many visitors. On the contrary, there are groovy hotels opening at a rate of knots, and if you want to try a novel form of transport, how about Carro de Cesto.
From the capital Funchal, take the cable-car to the hilltop town of Monte (which is well worth exploration in its own right), and then ride back down the steep streets in a carro de cesto, a sort of wicker toboggan.
