Yes it's lovely, you can see a glass of it in my photo of the white wine on the dolphin boat. I described it as rum but indeed it's poncha.

3. I really need to get myself back to Madeira ASAP.
Buurman! I don't mind our local station at all. It's just a short walk for me and trains to Schiphol four times an hour.

The landing was fun! As I understand it, pilots need a special training for this. So I was impressed he managed it so smoothly despite the turbulence in the final turn.

And of course everyone here is telling me you are very welcome to come back for a visit!
