I’m not a fan of bumpy flights nor do I fancy getting stuck on an island due to a storm, unable to fly out for days. Truth be told, had I known that the Madeira airport was listed as one of the most alarming airplane landings in the world, I would have picked another destination for our spring holiday.

The morning before heading back to Zurich, we wanted to do a repeat of “the Best Hike” – we’ve done – at the Bernese Oberland.

But while I was getting tickets for another concert at the Altice Arena in Lisbon, I saw that he’s coming to Lisbon and thought that I would check out…The man sure knows how to put up a good show!!! The concert was sold out with tickets up to €1000. I paid €67 and had a fantastic night out!
Thanks Monica from Brilliant Viewpoint for introducting me to this amazing artist and charismatic performer. This one’s for you!
