Back on Madeira, the second highest sea cliff in the world, near Camara de Lobos.

Looking down from some of those cliffs on the west side of Madeira. Ours was a cloudy day and the fog was moving in off the water.

Our guide in Madeira warned us repeatedly about some common plant on the island that if you touch it and subsequently rub your eyes, it can cause blindness. However he never made it clear exactly which plant he was referring to. He seemed to be pointing at a cactus-y looking plant like in the bottom left of Jim's picture, but the guide may have been pointing to the plant next to the cactus-y one.
I took this picture of where the guide was pointing, but I don't know which one is the bad one. It also sounded like he was saying the plant was a "Euphoria"
