I was under the impression from layout diagrams that MM's bedroom run alongside the Rua Jose Ribeiro Lopes with the window effectively looking down on the pavement but this is wrong? The window actually runs along the back of the car park?
Wrong place Holly. May I suggest that you use Google Earth and place both roads on the map.
5A is about a third of a mile, crow flies, SW of Rua Jose Ribeiro Lopes in an altogether different Ocean Club compound. This compound is where The Millenium Restaurant is and there is a third Reception there too
5A faces onto R Dr Agostinho da Silva but there is a car park between Madeleines indow and the road. It is set a little over 10 mettres back from the road and adjaent to the window wall of 5A is a pathway with a wall. From memory that wall would be way over Madeleines head from the building side. As the block was built into very slopeing ground the land on the car park side meeta the wall part way up the wall. In other words the wall looks lower when viewd from the car park or the road.
The pathhway wall is quite high from the bedroom side. Madeleine would not have been able to see over it. It would be very dark there too.
