August 31st - September 10th

August 31st → September 10th - Madeira

Birthday Holiday

Finally, I have just got home from my final trip of the year - Madeira. Not only was the plan to relax, I also wanted to see the island, so I booked a few tours and excursions. I booked a private sunset boat trip & private charter cruise to see dolphins and whales, both through https://ontales.com/. I also booked a sunrise tour through https://www.hittheroadmadeira.com/.

Accommodation: https://www.savoysignature.com/. I booked this accommodation through Easyjet holidays with Full Board (breakfast, lunch & dinner).

Transport: I had a private taxi from airport to hotel (& vice versa) included in the holiday cost. For getting around, I was recommended a female taxi driver called Marta who was lovely. 

Cost: The holiday package (flights, accommodation & airport transfers cost £3326 (two people). For non included drinks and select food, it was a fair bill for 2 people. Dm me or check the links to get prices on the tours etc.

Feelings: I was so nervous! The week leading up to my flight was awful because the airline kept cancelling flights; luckily mine wasn’t cancelled. Overall, the holiday was SPECTACULAR - spending time with my life long best friend for 10 days! However, it was my first birthday away from home and family, so as you can guess that was pretty hard. But I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Over the last three years, my family and I had many concerts to go to but because of covid, had to wait til this year (I also bought concert tickets in February). 5 concerts in total in 2 weeks! I experienced - in order - Harry Styles, Queen, Elton John, Billie Eilish & Ed Sheeran !!! I also did the Van Gogh Immersive Experience , Proud Cabaret , Leadenhall Market , Spitalfields Market & Greenwich Market . I stayed at  https://www.hilton.com/ . First time staying at this fairly new hotel. Right in the middle of the city and central to all the venues of the concerts and attractions I wanted to do. I stayed there in a double room with a sofa bed (for when friends stayed too) for the duration of the trip with breakfast included. I got room service on the nights I was too tired to go somewhere for dinner. I went on the tube (which I hated but not as much as my first time), walked, used uber (very safe and secure) & https://www.blacklane.com/en/ taxis for concert nights....
