Ghostly Madeira marina

Hi Everybody,

Position: 32:44.0N 16:42.8W

Since we've been staying in this marina hotel complex in Madeira, we've discovered it's pretty empty and we've been wondering: is it haunted?

The bus driver didn't like Fin when we tried to get her on the bus to Funchal either and Dad wanted to do a sit-in on the bus but we weren't too keen so we rented a car instead for Monday. Maybe he thought Fin was one of the ghosts....

Write soon,

L&D
