From sky diving to a peaceful walk in a small village, we look for experiences that would bring us closer to the understanding of life and happiness. Toboggan in Madeira is one of those peculiar rides that people and travelers from around the world seek. A unique escapade that offers you a comfortable yet adventurous sight of Funchal, the capital city of Madeira, and toboggan in Madeira is a must to do thing if you are looking for something exciting and fun. 

What is a Toboggan? 

Toboggan is a sled used for sliding downhill generally on snow or ice. However, in southern America toboggan means a kind of hat because of the rarity of snow in the region. Toboggan in Madeira, on the other hand, is a major tourist attraction of Funchal, the capital city of Madeira. It is a ride downhill and a means of transportation that amazes the tourists with a peculiar adventure.

Carro de Cesto

“Carro de Cesto” is a means of transportation and entertainment for tourists who visit Funchal. The ride begins at the Nossa Senhora de Monte Church and goes downhill to Livramento- a suburb of Funchal – two kilometers away. The ride downhill is breathtaking. Two men, called “Carreiros”, wearing white suits and hats, are your chauffeurs who run the toboggan with their special rubber-soled shoes that help them to brake and turn the toboggan when needed.  The trip to your destination takes about 10 minutes and you can expect a top speed of 30mph (48 kmph), while enjoying your ride. 

Getting a ride 

Madeira is an autonomous part of the region of Portugal. It is an archipelago and a major tourist attraction. The Madeira airport is well connected with major cities of Portugal. It is just one and a half hour away from Lisbon via flight. When in Funchal, the city that has the toboggan run, take a Monte cable car from Funchal to Monte and from there it is hardly a 10 minute walk to the Nossa Senhora de Monte Church where the ride begins. You can easily find people with a sled wearing white suits ready to take people to the bottom with some fun. It is a major tourist attraction, so it is a bit expensive. Around 30 euros for two people would be a great deal, however during peak times it might cost you more. Also, the toboggan ride will not make you see the entire city. After the ride ends, you will need to take a taxi or walk for about 20 to 30 minutes to reach all the way to Funchal. Take your time and enjoy the beautiful region, the ride and the walks are totally worth it.

          The Smallest Computer In The World The Smallest Computer in the World Fits On a Grain of Rice. Researchers at the University of Michigan just created the world's smallest computer (again). After all, it's unclear if the IBM computer even counts as an actual microcomputer. The IBM device lost all its programming and data as soon as it turns off, unlike the Michigan Micro Mote, which retained its programming even when it wasn’t externally powered. “It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at University of Michigan who helped develop the University of Michigan's newest tiny device. If the IBM machine constituted a computer, then University of Michigan would work to gain back their title: their latest micro device measures 0.3mm per side (1/10th the size of IBM’s computer), and is smaller than a grain of rice. The de...

  Specialties of the month of May The month of May signifies so many different things to people that it is hard, to sum up, its importance in a single thought. While May is considered a time of new harvest and celebrations for farmers across the country, it also ushers in the dreaded Indian summers, which in turn is symbolized by vacations for children and family trips to the hills for a lot of Indian families.  However, the importance of May runs much deeper than just the basic symbolic inferences to which we as a society often restrict ourselves to. It also has a significant place of honor within religious and spiritual connotations, cultural diversity and societal practices. Here are some of the unique things which make May, the most mystical of all months: Despite a majority of months being named after Greek Gods and even the occasional Roman king, May is named after Maia. She is the Greek Goddess of fertility and this is signified by May being the month of harvest for far...
